Functions
Lateral Plane Span
Lateral Plane Span is set of all linear combinations of 2 non-parallel vectors u and v is called the span of u and v.
Symbol: bW
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Lift Force
Lift Force is the aerodynamic force exerted on an object, such as an aircraft wing, perpendicular to the oncoming airflow.
Symbol: FL
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Induced Drag
Induced Drag is a type of aerodynamic drag that occurs as a result of the lift production in an aircraft. It is associated with the creation of vortices at the wingtips, leading to a downwash of air.
Symbol: Di
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Dynamic Pressure
Dynamic Pressure is simply a convenient name for the quantity which represents the decrease in the pressure due to the velocity of the fluid.
Symbol: q
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Archimedes' constant
Archimedes' constant is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
Symbol: π
Value: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288
sqrt
A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number.
Syntax: sqrt(Number)

How to Evaluate Span given Induced Drag?

Span given Induced Drag evaluator uses Lateral Plane Span = Lift Force/sqrt(pi*Induced Drag*Dynamic Pressure) to evaluate the Lateral Plane Span, The Span given Induced Drag formula describes the relationship between the span (b) of an aircraft and the induced drag it experiences during flight. It quantifies the span required to counteract the induced drag force generated by the aircraft's wings. In essence, the formula illustrates how the span influences the aerodynamic efficiency of the aircraft, as a larger span can help reduce induced drag. Lateral Plane Span is denoted by bW symbol.
