Does wing size affect flight?

The size and shape of the wing, the angleat which it meets the oncoming air, the speed at which it movesthrough the air, even the density of the air, all affect theamount of lift a wing creates. Let's begin with the shape ofa wing intended for subsonic flight.

How do you calculate wing area?

The Aspect Ratio of a wing is defined to be thesquare of the span divided by the wing area and isgiven the symbol AR. For a rectangular wing, this reduces tothe ratio of the span to the chord length as shown at theupper right of the figure.

What is a high aspect ratio wing?

In aeronautics, the aspect ratio of a wingis the ratio of its span to its mean chord. It is equal tothe square of the wingspan divided by the wing area. Thus, along, narrow wing has a high aspect ratio, whereas ashort, wide wing has a low aspect ratio.

Why do Boeing jets start with 7?

The company's engineering department divided the modelnumbers into blocks of 100 for each of the new product areas. Forexample, 300s and 400s represented aircraft, 500s were usedon turbine engines, 600s for rockets and missiles, and 700s –you guessed it – were used for jet transportaircraft.
