Separation Distance given Wing Tip Clearance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
Clearance Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Clearance Distance is the gap or space between two surfaces adjacent to each other.
Wing Tip Clearance - (Measured in Meter) - Wing Tip Clearance that accounts for aircraft steering performance.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wing Span: 45 Meter --> 45 Meter No Conversion Required
Clearance Distance: 15.1 Meter --> 15.1 Meter No Conversion Required
Wing Tip Clearance: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = WS+C+Z --> 45+15.1+5

Evaluating ... ...

S = 65.1

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

65.1 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

65.1 Meter <-- Separation 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)

Separation Distance given Wing Tip Clearance Formula

LaTeX Go

Separation Distance = Wing Span+Clearance Distance+Wing Tip Clearance
S = WS+C+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.

How to Calculate Separation Distance given Wing Tip Clearance?

Separation Distance given Wing Tip Clearance calculator uses Separation Distance = Wing Span+Clearance Distance+Wing Tip Clearance to calculate the Separation Distance, Separation Distance given Wing Tip Clearance is based on providing suitable wing tip clearance when aircraft has deviated from taxiway centerline. Separation Distance is denoted by S symbol.

How to calculate Separation Distance given Wing Tip Clearance using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Separation Distance given Wing Tip Clearance, enter Wing Span (WS), Clearance Distance (C) & Wing Tip Clearance (Z) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Separation Distance given Wing Tip Clearance calculation can be explained with given input values -> 65.1 = 45+15.1+5.

FAQ

What is Separation Distance given Wing Tip Clearance?

Separation Distance given Wing Tip Clearance is based on providing suitable wing tip clearance when aircraft has deviated from taxiway centerline and is represented as S = WS+C+Z or Separation Distance = Wing Span+Clearance Distance+Wing Tip Clearance. Wing Span considered of the runway is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip, Clearance Distance is the gap or space between two surfaces adjacent to each other & Wing Tip Clearance that accounts for aircraft steering performance.

How to calculate Separation Distance given Wing Tip Clearance?

Separation Distance given Wing Tip Clearance is based on providing suitable wing tip clearance when aircraft has deviated from taxiway centerline is calculated using Separation Distance = Wing Span+Clearance Distance+Wing Tip Clearance. To calculate Separation Distance given Wing Tip Clearance, you need Wing Span (WS), Clearance Distance (C) & Wing Tip Clearance (Z). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Wing Span, Clearance Distance & Wing Tip Clearance and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Separation Distance?

In this formula, Separation Distance uses Wing Span, Clearance Distance & Wing Tip Clearance. We can use 3 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Separation Distance = 0.5*(Strip Width+Wing Span)
Separation Distance = (Span of Wing/2)+Clearance Distance+Wing Tip Clearance
Separation Distance = (Span of Wing/2)+Lateral Deviation+Wing Tip Clearance
