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 bird.
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.
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]
One notable NBA player with an ape index below 1 is Desmond Bane, whose wingspan of 6' 4" is less than his height of 6' 5"; he has been nicknamed "T-Rex" for this reason. [11] Despite this perceived deficiency, Bane has become a quality player since being selected 30th overall by the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2020 NBA draft out of TCU.
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.
The table contains a list of the largest birds living on this planet by wingspan, at maximum, assumed to be reliable by experts and verified records, at least 3 m (9 ...
This (holiday greeting card) is about sharing joy during a very festive time of year, and I think that your sentiment matches that is a really good thing," she said. "Stick to the positive notes ...
Mean aerodynamic chord (MAC) is defined as: [6] = (), where y is the coordinate along the wing span and c is the chord at the coordinate y.Other terms are as for SMC. The MAC is a two-dimensional representation of the whole wing. The pressure distribution over the entire wing can be reduced to a single lift force
