Wheelbase given Turning Radius Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wheelbase = sqrt(((Radius of Curve for Taxiway*(0.5*Taxiway Width))-Distance between Midway Points)/0.388)
W = sqrt(((R_Taxiway*(0.5*T_Width))-D_Midway)/0.388)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

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.
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.
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

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

W = sqrt(((R_Taxiway*(0.5*T_Width))-D_Midway)/0.388) --> sqrt(((53*(0.5*45.1))-17.78)/0.388)

Evaluating ... ...

W = 55.0859216396222

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

55.0859216396222 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

55.0859216396222 ≈ 55.08592 Meter <-- Wheelbase

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.

What is turning radius?

The turning diameter of a vehicle refers to the minimum diameter of available space required for that vehicle to make a circular turn. The term thus refers to a theoretical minimal circle in which for example an airplane, a ground vehicle or a watercraft can be turned around.
