aerodynamics - What effect does wing loading (high and low) have on ...
Dec 14, 2019 · Wing loading is, as a North American industry standard, defined as weight/wing reference area (W/S). But then again, there is nothing wrong to define it as mass/area; so be careful …
aerodynamics - How does a fighter jet perform good and quick …
Sep 16, 2015 · An F-15 has a nominal wing loading of 358 kg/m², compared with 497.05 for a 737-500 (lower is better). The combined effect of increased thrust to weight ratio and reduced wing loading …
Does a high "wing loading" require a high approach speed or does it ...
May 29, 2016 · Wing loading affects the approach speed, which must be a certain multiple of stall speed (1.3 for civil aircraft, 1.2 for military aircraft). Approach speed determines the touchdown speed, …
Will increasing the wing area result in higher aircraft range?
Nov 28, 2020 · 1 Intuitively, it seems that a low loading (large area) wing will allow to climb higher from the start, thus increasing true air speed and range. At the same time, a low loading wing also calls for …
What are the different wing planforms? What are each's advantages ...
Aug 30, 2015 · The wing planform (which is the shape and layout of wing) for each aircraft is mainly based on the aerodynamic requirements. There are other considerations like stealth, controllability …
Is there an equation to solve for bank angle using load factor and wing ...
Nov 3, 2023 · The problem is that I'm looking for both wing loading and load factor as variables to solve for bank angle and cannot find any equation that represents this. After searching various websites …
How to calculate the radius of a turn as a function of speed, bank ...
Sep 3, 2020 · It is also directly proportional to wing loading and load factor ( n / sqrt (n2 - 1). The latter is a function of bank angle. This formula appears to make more sense than the equation presented …
Why does the F-22's wing give it such great maneuverability?
Oct 10, 2015 · There is a great difference between the 2 wing designs. The F-22 is a very maneuverable aircraft and can out perform almost all the current fighter jets. The YF-23 has a very similar wing …
aerodynamics - Is designing a small GA airplane with a wing loading of ...
Sep 3, 2020 · Is designing a small GA plane like the following a bad idea? This question is not the same asking if a an airplane with a traditional design is safer with a lower wing loading. This question specif...
ultralight - To determine wing loading, do you need to subtract the ...
Oct 7, 2018 · No. The wing weight may or may not be negligible (usually not), but "wing loading", as a term, is simply defined with respect to the total weight. Wings have to carry all the weight, including …
