Clearance between Outer Main Gear Wheel and Taxiway Edge given Wing Tip Clearance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Clearance Distance = Separation Distance-Wing Span-Wing Tip Clearance
C = S-WS-Z
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Clearance Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Clearance Distance is the gap or space between two surfaces adjacent to each other.
Separation Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Separation Distance between Taxiway and respective masses located in space by a definite distance.
Wing Span - (Measured in Meter) - Wing Span considered of the runway is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip.
Wing Tip Clearance - (Measured in Meter) - Wing Tip Clearance that accounts for aircraft steering performance.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Separation Distance: 64 Meter --> 64 Meter No Conversion Required
Wing Span: 45 Meter --> 45 Meter No Conversion Required
Wing Tip Clearance: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C = S-WS-Z --> 64-45-5

Evaluating ... ...

C = 14

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

14 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

14 Meter <-- Clearance Distance

Clearance between Outer Main Gear Wheel and Taxiway Edge given Taxiway Width

LaTeX Go Clearance Distance = (Taxiway Width-Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span)/2

Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span given Taxiway Width

LaTeX Go Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span = Taxiway Width-(2*Clearance Distance)

Taxiway Width

LaTeX Go Taxiway Width = Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span+2*Clearance Distance

Separation Distance between Runway and Parallel Taxiway

LaTeX Go Separation Distance = 0.5*(Strip Width+Wing Span)

Clearance between Outer Main Gear Wheel and Taxiway Edge given Wing Tip Clearance Formula

LaTeX Go

Clearance Distance = Separation Distance-Wing Span-Wing Tip Clearance
C = S-WS-Z

What is the function of Taxiway?

The functions of the Taxiway are to: Provide for aircraft to travel to and from runways to other areas of the airport in an expeditious manner. The system of taxiway is a decisive influence on the capacity of the runway system, and thereby also the overall capacity of the aerodrome.
