Span, also "Wingspan" The widest straight-line distance between the two wingtips.
Span: The overall distance from wingtip to wingtip.
Spar: The main longitudinal beam or beams of a wing or control surface.
Span
Selecting the wing span is one of the most basic decisions to made in the design of a wing.
Wing Span
The span is the total length of the wing usually from one wing tip to another.

Span-wise flow of the boundary layer
When a swept-wing travels at high speed, the airflow has little time to react and simply flows over the wing almost straight from front to back.
SPAN - The distance from tip to tip of the wing or tailplane.
SPAR - A primary structural member of an airfoil surface, from which ribs or frames are mounted to form the desired airfoil contours.
Full span ailerons, which also act as full span flaps, are thus used (called flaperons).
You can change the chord, span, or the wing area. The ratio of the span to the chord is called the Aspect Ratio and this parameter also has an effect on the lift of the wing.
push times - A span of time during an airport's operations that many flights are arriving and departing within the same time frame.
Their problem was to devise a means for keeping the span of the wings level so that when for any reason one wing tip should sink lower than the other, it could be at once raised ~ -~ back to its proper position.
The span is the length of the rotor blade from the point of rotation to the tip of the blade.
The vertical hinge pin (drag hinge) is the axis which permits fore and aft blade movement independent of the other blades in the system.
When dealing with an airfoil, the picture is actually that of a wing with infinite span. Since we have seen that the power necessary for lift is proportional to one over the length of the wing, a wing of infinite span does not require power for lift.
But this will reduce the life span of the tank. You must also discharge all the build ups from the tank in an environmentally safe manner.
The sender unit in your tank is more or less nothing more than an electric switch .
According to the most recent archaeological findings, Stonehenge was created in three phases over a span of many centuries, and each phase involved transformations of the earlier work.
That wing (the left wing in the figure) presents effectively more span to the airstream. It is a common mistake to think that the increased span explains the increased lift.
The first idea will be to build one of those fantastic wings, design a mechanism to allow full span flaperons (flaps and ailerons combined in one full span unit and controllable as flaps with the flap control and as ailerons with the classic aileron ...
The servo flap is a small airfoil located at about 75 percent span of the rotor blade, situated on the trailing edge of each rotor blade.
Where: AR = Aspect Ratio b = Wing Span S = Wing Area c = Wing Chord
Increasing the Aspect Ratio, i.e., maximizing the wing span while minimizing the wing's chord, reduces the down wash and the effect of the air spillage around the wing tips.
When the rotor blades are at rest, they droop due to their weight and span. In fully articulated systems, they rest against a static or droop stop which prevents the blade from descending so low it will strike the aircraft (or ground!).
Hold the brakes, full throttle and all three notches of the 60% span semi-Fowler flaps. I held the stick back as we started to roll, and Anderson told me to keep away from the snow banks.
5" span, powered by a SC91 4stroke. This model is built as the kit dictates but with more power making it a lively and powerful machine. The second tug is the Flair Cub which has been modified by using stringers which as given it a better shape.
By 1874 the du Temples had constructed a large finely-built monoplane, at Brest, France, with a wing span of some 40 feet and a weight (minus the operator) of only about 160 pounds.
ASPECT RATIO - The ratio of the span to the chord of an airfoil"a high-aspect ratio wing has wide span and narrow chord, and vice-versa.
ATA SEE CONTROLLED AIRSPACE ...
aspect ratio - The ratio of the span of the wing to its chord. The aspect ratio of a tapered wing is found by dividing the square of the wingspan by its area.
It was bat-shaped and had heavily cambered wings of 45.9 feet (14 m) span. The Ecole was flown by Adler near Gretz on 9th October, 1890. It rose about 6 inches off the ground and travelled about 165 feet (50.29 m).
A sky condition reported as partially obscured (-X) indicates that some span of the sky or cloud layer is visible through the obscuration.
Some airports have internal hydrant systems that carry fuel from a storage site at or near the airport, then under ground to the terminal gates, where hoses span the final distance to the wing of the airplane.
A complete radio set was to be mounted in all airplanes, along with a radio direction finder for long-range navigation. The maneuverability was to be at least equal to that of the A5M, while the wing span had to be less than 12 m to fit on the ...
training time for a private pilot is between 50 hours and 60 hours, whether the school operates under Part 61 or Part 141 schools. Others believe that 68 to 70 hours is the more likely average. These flight hours can be spread over a time span of ...
