In flight mechanics, wingspan refers to the distance from the tip of one wing to the tip of the opposite wing on an aircraft. It is a fundamental geometric characteristic of the aircraft’s wings and is denoted by the symbol . Wingspan is a crucial parameter in aerodynamics and aircraft design, influencing aspects such as lift, drag, stability, and maneuverability. The formula to Calculate the Wing span as follows:
Where:
- AR is the Aspect ratio.
- S is the Wing Area in m2.
- b is the wingspan in m.
