  3. Bird measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_measurement

    The root box is estimated from a measurement of the wing width at the base (the root chord) and the difference between the wingspan and two times the extent of a single wing. [10] Alternatively, the total wing area can be estimated using the wingspan, wing length, and wing width and assuming simple geometric figures for the shape of the wings. [11]

  4. 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.

  5. Arm span - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arm_span

    Arm span or reach (sometimes referred to as wingspan, or spelled armspan) is the physical measurement of the length from one end of an individual's arms (measured at the fingertips) to the other when raised parallel to the ground at shoulder height at a 90° angle. The arm span measurement is usually very close to the person's height.

  6. Wingspan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingspan

    The distance A to B is the wingspan of this Boeing 777-200ER. The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the opposite wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of 60.93 metres (199 ft 11 in), [1] and a wandering albatross (Diomedea exulans) caught in 1965 had a wingspan of 3.63 metres (11 ft 11 in), the official record for a living ...

  7. Wing configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_configuration

    It is a measure of how long and slender the wing appears when seen from above or below. Low aspect ratio: short and stubby wing. Structurally efficient, high instantaneous roll rate, low supersonic drag. They tend to be used on fighter aircraft, such as the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, and on very high-speed aircraft including the North American ...
