I got this question in unit test.

The query is from Types of Take-off and Landing topic in division Take-off and Landing Performance of Aircraft Performance

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) 5

To elaborate: The aspect ratio is given by the ratio of span and chord. Given span = 10 feet and chord is 2 feet. Substituting in the formula we get AS=\(\frac{span}{chord}\). AS=\(\frac{10}{2}\).

AS=5.
