Clearance between Outer Main Gear Wheel and Taxiway Edge given Taxiway Width Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Clearance Distance = (Taxiway Width-Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span)/2
C = (TWidth-TM)/2
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Clearance Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Clearance Distance is the gap or space between two surfaces adjacent to each other.
Taxiway Width - (Measured in Meter) - Taxiway Width is the width of a path for aircraft at an airport connecting runways with aprons, hangars, terminals and other facilities.
Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span - (Measured in Meter) - Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span is the distance between the outside edges of the main gear wheels.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Taxiway Width: 45.1 Meter --> 45.1 Meter No Conversion Required
Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span: 15.2 Meter --> 15.2 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
C = (TWidth-TM)/2 --> (45.1-15.2)/2
Evaluating ... ...
C = 14.95
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
14.95 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
14.95 Meter <-- Clearance Distance
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Wing Tip Clearance given Separation Distance between Taxiway and Object
Go Wing Tip Clearance = Separation Distance-(0.5*Span of Wing)-Clearance Distance
Wing Span given Separation Distance between Taxiway and Object
Go Span of Wing = (Separation Distance-Clearance Distance-Wing Tip Clearance)/0.5
Clearance given Separation Distance between Taxiway and Object
Go Clearance Distance = Separation Distance-(0.5*Span of Wing)-Wing Tip Clearance
Wing Tip Clearance given Separation Distance between Aircraft Stand Taxi lane-to-object
Go Wing Tip Clearance = Separation Distance-(0.5*Span of Wing)-Lateral Deviation
Lateral Deviation given Separation Distance between Aircraft Stand Taxi lane-to-object
Go Lateral Deviation = Separation Distance-(0.5*Span of Wing)-Wing Tip Clearance
Separation Distance between Taxiway and Object
Go Separation Distance = (Span of Wing/2)+Clearance Distance+Wing Tip Clearance
Wing Span given Separation Distance between Aircraft Stand Taxi lane-to-object
Go Span of Wing = 2*(Separation Distance-Lateral Deviation-Wing Tip Clearance)
Separation Distance between Aircraft Stand Taxi lane-to-object
Go Separation Distance = (Span of Wing/2)+Lateral Deviation+Wing Tip Clearance
Clearance between Outer Main Gear Wheel and Taxiway Edge given Wing Tip Clearance
Go Clearance Distance = Separation Distance-Wing Span-Wing Tip Clearance
Wing Tip Clearance given Separation Distance between Runway and parallel Taxiway
Go Wing Tip Clearance = Separation Distance-Wing Span-Clearance Distance
Separation Distance given Wing Tip Clearance
Go Separation Distance = Wing Span+Clearance Distance+Wing Tip Clearance
Wing Span given Wing Tip Clearance
Go Wing Span = Separation Distance-Clearance Distance-Wing Tip Clearance
Clearance between Outer Main Gear Wheel and Taxiway Edge given Taxiway Width
Go Clearance Distance = (Taxiway Width-Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span)/2
Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span given Taxiway Width
Go Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span = Taxiway Width-(2*Clearance Distance)
Taxiway Width
Go Taxiway Width = Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span+2*Clearance Distance
Strip Width given Separation Distance between Runway and Parallel Taxiway
Go Strip Width = (Separation Distance/0.5)-Wing Span
Wing Span given Separation Distance between Runway and Parallel Taxiway
Go Wing Span = (Separation Distance/0.5)-Strip Width
Separation Distance between Runway and Parallel Taxiway
Go Separation Distance = 0.5*(Strip Width+Wing Span)

Clearance between Outer Main Gear Wheel and Taxiway Edge given Taxiway Width Formula

Clearance Distance = (Taxiway Width-Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span)/2
