TWidth = (((0.388*W^2)/RTaxiway)+DMidway)/0.5
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
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.
Wheelbase - (Measured in Meter) - Wheelbase is the horizontal distance between the centers of the front and rear wheels.
Radius of Curve for Taxiway - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Curve for Taxiway is the radius of a circle whose part, say, arc is taken for consideration.
Distance between Midway Points - (Measured in Meter) - Distance between Midway Points of main gears and the edge of taxiway pavements.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Wheelbase: 25.5 Meter --> 25.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Radius of Curve for Taxiway: 53 Meter --> 53 Meter No Conversion Required
Distance between Midway Points: 17.78 Meter --> 17.78 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
TWidth = (((0.388*W^2)/RTaxiway)+DMidway)/0.5 --> (((0.388*25.5^2)/53)+17.78)/0.5
Evaluating ... ...

What is Lift Force?

Lift is the force that directly opposes the weight of an airplane and holds the airplane in the air. Lift is a mechanical aerodynamic force produced by the motion of the airplane through the air. Because lift is a force, it is a vector quantity, having both a magnitude and a direction associated with it.
