Wing Tip Clearance given Separation Distance between Taxiway and Object Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wing Tip Clearance = Separation Distance-(0.5*Span of Wing)-Clearance Distance
Z = S-(0.5*W_Span)-C
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Wing Tip Clearance - (Measured in Meter) - Wing Tip Clearance that accounts for aircraft steering performance.
Separation Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Separation Distance between Taxiway and respective masses located in space by a definite distance.
Span of Wing - (Measured in Meter) - Span of wing given separation distance between aircraft stand taxi lane-to-object 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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Separation Distance: 64 Meter --> 64 Meter No Conversion Required
Span of Wing: 85 Meter --> 85 Meter No Conversion Required
Clearance Distance: 15.1 Meter --> 15.1 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Z = S-(0.5*W_Span)-C --> 64-(0.5*85)-15.1

Evaluating ... ...

Z = 6.4

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.4 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.4 Meter <-- Wing Tip Clearance

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)

Wing Tip Clearance given Separation Distance between Taxiway and Object Formula

LaTeX Go

Wing Tip Clearance = Separation Distance-(0.5*Span of Wing)-Clearance Distance
