Aspect ratio — The aspect ratio of a shape is the ratio of its longer dimension to its shorter dimension. It may be applied to two characteristic dimensions of a three dimensional shape, such as the ratio of the longest and shortest axis, or for symmetrical… … Wikipedia
Aspect ratio — (A[ e]ronautics) The ratio of the long to the short side of an a[ e]roplane, a[ e]rocurve, or wing. [Webster 1913 Suppl.] … The Collaborative International Dictionary of English
Aspect ratio (wing) — In aerodynamics, the aspect ratio of a wing is defined as the square of the wing span divided by the wing area.:AR = {b^2 over S}where: b is the wing span, and: S is the wing area.Informally, a high aspect ratio indicates long, narrow wings,… … Wikipedia
aspect ratio — The ratio of span of the wing to its chord. It also may be expressed as the ratio of the square of the span of the wing to its area. Aspect ratio (A) = span2 /wing area, span/chord, span × chord/chord2 , or wing area/chord2 … Aviation dictionary
aspect ratio — [1] The ratio of length to width of rectangular air grille or duct. [2] The relationship in a tire or wheel between the distance from the rim to the tread and the tire s width (i.e., ratio of section height to section width). Thus, in a… … Dictionary of automotive terms
effective aspect ratio — That aspect ratio of airfoil of elliptical planform that, for same lift coefficient, has same induced drag coefficient as airfoil, or combination of airfoils in question. Aspect ratio is the ratio of the span of the wing to its chord and also can … Aviation dictionary
Wetted aspect ratio (wing) — The wetted aspect ratio is a good indication of the aerodynamic efficiency of an aircraft. It is a better measure than the aspect ratio. It is defined as:: ARwet = {b^2 over Sw} where Sw is the wetted surface of the whole aircraft in contrast to… … Wikipedia

Lift-to-drag ratio — In aerodynamics, the lift to drag ratio, or L/D ratio ( ell over dee in the US, ell dee in the UK), is the amount of lift generated by a wing or vehicle, divided by the drag it creates by moving through the air. A higher or more favorable L/D… … Wikipedia
