Ok, guys- I've got a question that I have not found a good answer to online. If you were to keep the AREA of the wing the same, what effect does the wing length Vs width make? AND- then what does the wing area vs overall length of the aircraft make? I was just comparing the dimensions of the KR2S

Yes long ago (70's) there was a P51 done.  I am doing a Seafury myself.  Elliptical wingtips and adding a little to the tail to reshape.  The rest is all paint and canopy to make the profile convincing from a distance. Craig www.kr2seafury.com Corvair 2780

The following is what I get for thinking. (besides the headache) I scaled down a P-51D Mustang to 1/2 scale and overlaid it with a KR2S and guess what... The KR2S is WAY close to the same profile as the P-51D !! Wings on the P-51 are smaller and shaped a bit differently, but that is easy to

Span vs cord is defined as aspect ratio. My interpretation of your first question would be, how does the aspect ratio of a wing affect the flight characteristics? Wikipedia give an excellent definition and it's effect on the flight characteristics at

The higher the aspect ratio the lower the induced drag I was told as a lad -but that was in the days of pontius pilot -so it's probably all changed now..(Aspect ratio = chord:span) Regards, Mac UK On Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 8:28 PM, Barrett wrote: > > Ok, guys- I've got a

Thanks Jeff What a great bit of information. Barry Kruyssen -Original Message- Span vs cord is defined as aspect ratio. My interpretation of your first question would be, how does the aspect ratio of a wing affect the flight characteristics? -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM
