c. Square of the chord to the wingspan.
8. An aspect ratio of 8: 1 would mean.
a. Span 64, mean chord 8.
b. Mean chord 64, span 8.
c. Span squared 64, chord 8.
9. On a swept wing aircraft, the fineness ratio of an aerofoil is.
a. Highest at the root.
b. Equal throughout the span.
c. Highest at the tip.
10. The thickness/chord ratio of the wing is also known as.
a. Fineness ratio.
b. Mean chord ratio.
c. Aspect ratio.
11. The lift curve for a delta wing is.
a. More than that of a high aspect ratio wing.
b. less than that of a high aspect ratio wing.
c. the same as that of a high aspect ratio wing.
ANSWER KEY
1.b 2.c 3.b 4.b 5.c 6.c 7.a 8.a 9.c 10.a 11.b
EXPLANATION
1. Aspect Ratio is span/mean chord. Multiply top and bottom by span and you get span2/area.
2. Aspect ratio is the ratio of span to chord.
3. Aspect ratio = Span/Chord.
4. An Aspect Ratio of 8 means the span is 8 times the chord.
5. A long slender wing (high aspect ratio) has less induced drag than a short stubby wing.
6. If aspect ratio is 6 : 1 the wing span is 6 times the mean chord.
7. Aspect ratio is defined as the ratio of the wing span to mean chord.
8. Aspect Ratio is the ratio of the span to the chord.
9. Fineness ratio (chord/thickness) is greatest at the tip. Fineness ratio is the inverse of thickness/chord
ratio. Some textbooks differ on the definition of 'fineness ratio' but most state FR = chord/thickness.
Quote A&P Mechanics Airframe Handbook Page 32 'If a wing has a high fineness ratio, it is a very thin
wing. A thick wing has low fineness ratio'.
10. The thickness/chord ratio of the wing is also known as the fineness ratio. (Technically, thickness/chord
ratio = 1/fineness ratio).
11. A delta wing produces less lift for any given angle of attack than any other type of wing.
WEIGHT & WING LOADING
1. Weight is equal to.

a. Mass * acceleration.
b. Mass * gravity.
c. Volume * gravity.
2. What is the force that tends to pull an aircraft down towards the earth?
a. Thrust.
b. Weight.
c. Drag.
3. If the wing loading of an aircraft were reduced the stalling speed would.
a. Increase.
b. Not be affected.
c. Decrease.
4. Wing loading is.
a. The maximum all up weight multiplied by the total wing area.
b. The maximum all up weight divided by the total wing area.
c. The ratio of the all up weight of the aircraft to its basic weight.

5. Low wing loading.

a. Increases stalling speed, landing speed and landing run.
b. Increases lift, stalling speed and maneuverability.
c. decreases stalling speed, landing speed and landing run
ANSWER KEY
1.b 2.b 3.c 4.b 5.c
EXPLANATION
1. Weight = mass * gravity in straight and level flight. In a maneuver, additional accelerations are present,
which are sometimes considered to increase weight. The question can therefore be answered in two
ways.
2. Weight tends to pull the aircraft down towards the earth.
3. An increase in wing loading increases the stall speed. And vice versa.
4. Wing Loading is weight divided by wing area. Measured in Newton’s per Square Metre.
5. Wing loading is aircraft weight divided by wing area, therefore an aircraft with a low wing loading will
require less landing speed, less landing run and have a decreased stalling speed.
