Taxiway Width given Turning Radius Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
Distance between Midway Points - (Measured in Meter) - Distance between Midway Points of main gears and the edge of taxiway pavements.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wheelbase: 25.5 Meter --> 25.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Radius of Curve for Taxiway: 53 Meter --> 53 Meter No Conversion Required
Distance between Midway Points: 17.78 Meter --> 17.78 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T_Width = (((0.388*W^2)/R_Taxiway)+D_Midway)/0.5 --> (((0.388*25.5^2)/53)+17.78)/0.5

Evaluating ... ...

T_Width = 45.080641509434

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

45.080641509434 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

45.080641509434 ≈ 45.08064 Meter <-- Taxiway Width

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.
