Wing Span given Wing Tip Clearance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Wing Span - (Measured in Meter) - Wing Span considered of the runway is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip.
Separation Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Separation Distance between Taxiway and respective masses located in space by a definite distance.
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

Separation Distance: 64 Meter --> 64 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

WS = S-C-Z --> 64-15.1-5

Evaluating ... ...

WS = 43.9

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

43.9 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

43.9 Meter <-- Wing Span

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)
