Every aircraft design process begins with this wing loading calculation. The wing loading is a parameter that affects several performance parameters of an aircraft, such as aircraft speed during take-off, landin
the small flies have a partial ‘clap and fling’ at the dorsal stroke-reversal. In order to investigate the interference effect between the left and right wings in the partial ‘clap and fling’ motion, we made an additional calculation: computing the flow around a single wing performing the...
A theoretical nonlinear aeroelastic response analysis for a flexible high-aspect ratio wing excited by harmonic gust load is presented along with a companion wind tunnel test. A multidisciplinary coupled numerical calculation is developed to simulate the flexible model wing undergoing gust load in the ...

What is the best combination of aspect ratio – the ratio of the span of the wing to its chord – and the span itself? The optimal wingspan for a future single-aisle aircraft is significantly longer than today’s 35.8m. It would require folding wingtips to accommodate taxiway and gate li...
the two configurations have comparable wing loading and aspect ratio of the main wing, as well as the same wingspan. Considering the design point lift-to-drag ratio, the BW provides a performance improvement; furthermore, the configuration can transport 66% of passengers more than the conventiona...
Calculation of the wing area provides the determination of wing geometric characteristics such as wing root and tip chord length as well as average aerodynamic chord length with the selected taper ratio value in section 3.3.(11)cr=2Swingb(1+λ)(12)ct=λcr(13)c-=23cr1+λ+λ21+λ Since ...
Aspect ratio = 33 ratio (Lift / Drag) =36We have seen in the page for general information on the wings and hydrofoils that drag and lif forces calculated using the 2D CL and Cd are theoretical values, not taking into account the vortex phenomena. These vortex phenomena are caused by the...
higher wing aspect ratio is generating 72% higher induced drag when compared to the integral airlifting surface of TDMW aircraft, hence TDMW's induced drag coefficient being additionally increased for calculation purposes by 15% due to less favorable shape of the rear portion of TDMW aircraft. ...
(806) of the main wing in this example are curved. For example, this may help to better capture forced airflow from the tip of the propellers, as well as adding to the wing aspect ratio. This results in lower induced drag and higher available lift for a given power input. An ...
