Disk Loading Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Load = Aircraft Weight/((pi*Diameter of Rotor)/4)
Wload = Wa/((pi*dr)/4)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables
Constants Used
pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288
Variables Used
Load - (Measured in Newton) - Load is the instantaneous load applied perpendicular to the specimen cross section.
Aircraft Weight - (Measured in Newton) - Aircraft weight is the total aircraft weight at any moment during the flight or ground operation.
Diameter of Rotor - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of rotor is the value of diameter of the rotor of a pump.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Aircraft Weight: 1000 Newton --> 1000 Newton No Conversion Required
Diameter of Rotor: 0.05 Meter --> 0.05 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Helicopter Flying range
Go Range of Aircraft = 270*(Weight of Fuel/Aircraft Weight) *(Lift Coefficient/Drag Coefficient)*(Rotor efficiency*(Coefficient of Power loss)/Specific Fuel Consumption)
Depth of missile penetration into concrete element of infinite thickness (meters)
Go Missile depth of penetration = 12*Penetration Coefficient Concrete*(Missile Wt./Frontal area of missile)*log10(1+((Missile striking velocity)^2/215000))
Weight of Glider
Go Weight = Lift Force*cos(Glide Angle)+Drag Force*sin(Glide Angle)
Maximum Blade Efficiency
Go Maximum Blade efficiency = (2*(Blade Lift Force/Blade Drag Force)-1)/(2*(Blade Lift Force/Blade Drag Force)+1)
Orbital Period
Go Orbital period = 2*pi*(Radius of Orbit^(3/2))/sqrt([G.]*Central body Mass)
Tsiolkovsky Rocket Equation
Go Change in Rocket Velocity = Specific Impulse*[g]*ln(Wet mass/Dry mass)
Modern Lift Equation
Go Lift on Airfoil = (Lift Coefficient* Air Density* Aircraft Gross Wing Area* Fluid Velocity)/2
Disk Loading
Go Load = Aircraft Weight/((pi*Diameter of Rotor)/4)
Rocket Mass Ratio
Go Rocket Mass ratio = e^(Change in Rocket Velocity/Rocket Exhaust Velocity)
Average Blade Lift Coefficient
Go Blade lift coefficient = 6*(Thrust Coefficient/Rotor Solidity)

Disk Loading Formula

Load = Aircraft Weight/((pi*Diameter of Rotor)/4)
Wload = Wa/((pi*dr)/4)

Which air mode vehicle has the lowest disc loading?

The use of high disk loading rotors for lift compromises vertical flight capability. Helicopter has the lowest disk loading and thus has the most powerful vertical flight capability.

How to Calculate Disk Loading?

Disk Loading calculator uses Load = Aircraft Weight/((pi*Diameter of Rotor)/4) to calculate the Load, The Disk Loading formula is defined as the average pressure change across an actuator disk, such as an airscrew. Load is denoted by Wload symbol.

How to calculate Disk Loading using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Disk Loading, enter Aircraft Weight (Wa) & Diameter of Rotor (dr) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Disk Loading calculation can be explained with given input values -> 25.46479 = 1000/((pi*0.05)/4).

FAQ

What is Disk Loading?
The Disk Loading formula is defined as the average pressure change across an actuator disk, such as an airscrew and is represented as Wload = Wa/((pi*dr)/4) or Load = Aircraft Weight/((pi*Diameter of Rotor)/4).
