  2. List of scale model sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scale_model_sizes

    This scale was used by Revell for some ship models because it was one-half the size of the standard scale for wargaming models used by the U.S. Army. 1:535: 0.022: 0.570 mm: Ship models: Scale used by Revell for USS Missouri ship. Sometimes called "box scale" because chosen to fit a box size. 1:500: 0.610 mm: Architecture. Ship models. Die-cast ...

  3. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)

    When the scale factor is larger than 1, (uniform or non-uniform) scaling is sometimes also called dilation or enlargement. When the scale factor is a positive number smaller than 1, scaling is sometimes also called contraction or reduction. In the most general sense, a scaling includes the case in which the directions of scaling are not ...

    The sectionals are complemented by terminal area charts (TACs) at 1:250,000 scale for the areas around major U.S. airports, and until 2016 by World Aeronautical Charts (WACs) at a scale of 1:1,000,000 for pilots of slower aircraft and aircraft at high altitude. [1] Since February 2021, the charts have been updated on a 56-day publication cycle. [2]

  5. Aircraft design process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_design_process

    The weight of the aircraft is the common factor that links all aspects of aircraft design such as aerodynamics, structure, and propulsion, all together. An aircraft's weight is derived from various factors such as empty weight, payload, useful load, etc. The various weights are used to then calculate the center of mass of the entire aircraft. [37]

  6. Aspect ratio (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio_(aeronautics)

    An ASH 31 glider with very high aspect ratio (AR=33.5) and lift-to-drag ratio (L/D=56). In aeronautics, the aspect ratio of a wing is the ratio of its span to its mean chord.It is equal to the square of the wingspan divided by the wing area.

  7. 1:72 scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1:72_scale

    1:72 scale is a scale used for scale models, most commonly model aircraft, where one inch on the model equals six feet (which is seventy-two inches) in real life. The scale is popular for aircraft because sizes ranging from small fighters to large bombers are all reasonably manageable and displayable.
