Span given Aspect Ratio Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Lateral Plane Span = sqrt(Aspect Ratio in Lateral Plane*Aircraft Wetted Area)
b_W = sqrt(AR_w*S_wet)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Lateral Plane Span - (Measured in Meter) - Lateral plane span is set of all linear combinations of 2 non-parallel vectors u and v is called the span of u and v.
Aspect Ratio in Lateral Plane - Aspect ratio in Lateral Plane is the ratio of the span to the chord of an airplane wing.
Aircraft Wetted Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Aircraft Wetted Area is the surface area that interacts with the working fluid or gas.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Aspect Ratio in Lateral Plane: 23.04 --> No Conversion Required
Aircraft Wetted Area: 10.16 Square Meter --> 10.16 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

b_W = sqrt(AR_w*S_wet) --> sqrt(23.04*10.16)

Evaluating ... ...

b_W = 15.2998823524889

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

15.2998823524889 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

15.2998823524889 ≈ 15.29988 Meter <-- Lateral Plane Span
