planform

The wing planform is the shape when seen from above.

The planform may also refer to the projected area of the wing.

Such stairs may also be built around an elliptical or oval planform.

But first let's fly over the ship, get the planform from directly overhead."

The general layout of the wing planform was similar to the original DC-3.

The wing planform was also revised to have taper only on the leading edge.

In aviation, a planform is the shape and layout of an airplane's wing.

See also Variable geometry types which vary the wing planform during flight.

Other forms of variable planform have been flown, but none have gone beyond the research stage.

These extended beyond the wing trailing edge, giving the aircraft a distinctive planform.

The lift curve is also influenced by wing planform.

The delta wing is a wing planform in the form of a triangle.

With its short wings, it looked airplane-like in planform, but would obviously be incapable of flight.

This planform was the result of successful experiments with a rubber-driven model monoplane.

Aspect ratio and planform can be used to predict the aerodynamic performance of a wing.

The plane was descending into view about two hundred metres away, a delta planform with a long bullet nose.

Airfoil geometry was developed to maximum sweep benefit from the selected planform.

The code that was run produced a longer span but less sweep-back than the original wing planform.

Just as on the lower speed designs, making an ideal high speed planform is difficult for practical reasons.

Although the new version looked much like the original, it was larger overall and featured a new wing planform.

The wing planform looks similar to the joined wing, however here the two wings are in the same plane.

The resulting storage planform was narrower than that of a typical folding aircraft, but longer.

Most jet fighters of the period used a swept-wing or delta-wing planform.

The wing has a multi-tapered planform and the wingspan was increased to 26.5 metres.
