Distance between Midway Points of Main Gears and Edge of Taxiway Pavements Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Distance between Midway Points = (0.5*Taxiway Width)-(0.388*Wheelbase^2/Radius of Curve for Taxiway)
D_Midway = (0.5*T_Width)-(0.388*W^2/R_Taxiway)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Distance between Midway Points - (Measured in Meter) - Distance between Midway Points of main gears and the edge of taxiway pavements.
Taxiway Width - (Measured in Meter) - Taxiway Width is the width of a path for aircraft at an airport connecting runways with aprons, hangars, terminals and other facilities.
Wheelbase - (Measured in Meter) - Wheelbase is the horizontal distance between the centers of the front and rear wheels.
Radius of Curve for Taxiway - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Curve for Taxiway is the radius of a circle whose part, say, arc is taken for consideration.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Taxiway Width: 45.1 Meter --> 45.1 Meter No Conversion Required
Wheelbase: 25.5 Meter --> 25.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Radius of Curve for Taxiway: 53 Meter --> 53 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D_Midway = (0.5*T_Width)-(0.388*W^2/R_Taxiway) --> (0.5*45.1)-(0.388*25.5^2/53)

Evaluating ... ...

D_Midway = 17.789679245283

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

17.789679245283 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

17.789679245283 ≈ 17.78968 Meter <-- Distance between Midway Points

< Turning Radius Calculators

Wheelbase given Turning Radius

LaTeX Go Wheelbase = sqrt(((Radius of Curve for Taxiway*(0.5*Taxiway Width))-Distance between Midway Points)/0.388)

Taxiway Width given Turning Radius

LaTeX Go Taxiway Width = (((0.388*Wheelbase^2)/Radius of Curve for Taxiway)+Distance between Midway Points)/0.5

Turning Speed of Aircraft given Radius of Curve

LaTeX Go Turning Speed of Aircraft = sqrt(Radius of Curve for Taxiway*Coefficient of Friction*125)

Turning Radius

LaTeX Go Radius of Curve for Taxiway = (Turning Speed of Aircraft^2)/(125*Coefficient of Friction)

Distance between Midway Points of Main Gears and Edge of Taxiway Pavements Formula

LaTeX Go

Distance between Midway Points = (0.5*Taxiway Width)-(0.388*Wheelbase^2/Radius of Curve for Taxiway)
D_Midway = (0.5*T_Width)-(0.388*W^2/R_Taxiway)

What is Lift Force?

Lift is the force that directly opposes the weight of an airplane and holds the airplane in the air. Lift is a mechanical aerodynamic force produced by the motion of the airplane through the air. Because lift is a force, it is a vector quantity, having both a magnitude and a direction associated with it.
