Mean Aerodynamic Chord for Propeller-Driven Airplane Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Mean Aerodynamic Chord = (1/Reference Area)*int(Chord Length^2,x,-Wingspan/2,Wingspan/2)
c_ma = (1/S)*int(L_c^2,x,-b/2,b/2)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

int - The definite integral can be used to calculate net signed area, which is the area above the x -axis minus the area below the x -axis., int(expr, arg, from, to)

Variables Used

Mean Aerodynamic Chord - (Measured in Meter) - Mean Aerodynamic Chord is a two-dimensional representation of the whole wing.
Reference Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Reference Area is arbitrarily an area that is characteristic of the object being considered. For an aircraft wing, the wing's planform area is called the reference wing area or simply wing area.
Chord Length - (Measured in Meter) - Chord Length is the length of the airfoil from its leading edge to its trailing edge, parallel to the direction of airflow. It is typically measured in units such as inches, millimeters, or meters.
Wingspan - (Measured in Meter) - The Wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Reference Area: 5.08 Square Meter --> 5.08 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Chord Length: 3.8 Meter --> 3.8 Meter No Conversion Required
Wingspan: 50 Meter --> 50 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

c_ma = (1/S)*int(L_c^2,x,-b/2,b/2) --> (1/5.08)*int(3.8^2,x,-50/2,50/2)

Evaluating ... ...

c_ma = 142.125984251969

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

142.125984251969 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

142.125984251969 ≈ 142.126 Meter <-- Mean Aerodynamic Chord
