where The wetted aspect ratio considers the whole wetted surface area of the airframe, S w {\displaystyle S_{w}} , rather than just the wing. It is a better...

/ S wet {\displaystyle b^{2}/S_{\text{wet}}} is known as the wetted aspect ratio. The equation demonstrates the importance of wetted aspect ratio in achieving...

wing cantilever monoplane of straight elliptical planform with moderate aspect ratio and slight dihedral. Many variations have been tried. Sometimes the distinction...

the thickness-to-chord ratio, sometimes simply chord ratio or thickness ratio, compares the maximum vertical thickness of a wing to its chord. It is a...

Unfortunately, for a given wing design, increasing sweep decreases the aspect ratio. At high speeds, both subsonic and supersonic, an oblique wing would be pivoted...

safety for following aircraft. Such devices increase the effective aspect ratio of a wing without greatly increasing the wingspan. Extending the span would...

stall angle than the wing. A design approach used by Burt Rutan is a high aspect ratio canard with higher lift coefficient (the wing loading of the canard...

along the ground. Aircraft with a single main landing gear or very high aspect ratio wings such as gliders, may place small landing gear in the wingtips....

to minimalist principles, reducing wetted area and use of high speed aerofil sections in a high aspect-ratio wing. As an economy measure, the tail unit...

minimum by reducing the wetted area of the fuselage, as a whole, and reducing the sectional area dramatically aft of the wing. The long thin tail boom...

differences between males and females regarding forewing length, aspect ratio and wing centroid measurement which may be indicative of morphological homogeneity...

aircraft produced in France in the 1950s, based on Maurice Hurel's high-aspect ratio wing designs. Tests with the Hurel-Dubois HD.10 research aircraft had validated...

{4A}{P}},} where A is the cross-sectional area, and P is the wetted perimeter. The wetted perimeter for a channel is the total perimeter of all channel...

lift to keep the roll control in case of high aspect ratio wing. Wings of more than 8 or 9 aspect ratio features other devices to complete the cuff effect...

gull winged, single seat glider that was designed by Stan Hall and first flown in 1968. The Ibex was designed by Hall to investigate the reduced wetted area...

An adaptive compliant wing is a wing which is flexible enough for aspects of its shape to be changed in flight. Flexible wings have a number of benefits...
