What is aspect ratio?

The aspect ratio of an airplane wing determines many of its flight characteristics. Find out what they are in this video.
Ooops. I should have said "square" instead of "square root" in the video. What was I thinking...

This video helps you to solve at least 100 questions at 081 POF. Well done

[@RadonehereGamer]

Thank you for explaining this in simple terms

[@flightclubonline]

You are welcome!

[@olphartcoastie8719]

Narrator states square root when the square is meant. About 1:18 minutes in.

[@flightclubonline]

Well spotted. Thank you very much!

Was about to comment this too.

You’re great, keep going 🫡

so if the high aspect ratio wing has less induced drag, wouldn't that mean it experiences less adverse yaw? I'm confused why the low aspect ratio says less adverse yaw if adverse yaw is caused by induced drag and the high aspect ratio would effectively produce the same thing. perhaps I'm remembering adverse yaw incorrectly.

in 1:43-1:45 you showed the airplane whole body than you show its wing area, especially when you drawn line from left wing-root's leading edge to the right wing-root's leading edge. Previously in 1:35-1:38 you said, "The value for the wing area is the area of its shape as viewed from above." Here, it is clear that some part of the fuselage is included as the wing area. What I don't understand is, why does not all the rest of the fuselage included as wing area?

Excellent, thank you.

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@zacharysanders580]

Thank you! now i understand this stuff

[@maldinduwijayarathna9486]

why would a high aspect ratio wing create less induced drag?

[@리천수]

I’m not sure it’s correct but because there’s less relative wind than low aspect of ratio wings which means there will be less downwash on the wings so less induced drag.

Mate why don't They just show this in groundschool this saved me Hours.

[@diemme568]

not the square ROOT of the span..., but the span SQUARED.... divided by the AREA instead - mistake is only in the voiceover, but is right in the visual part

[@attarakalak]

Best vidio

[@flightclubonline]

That's very kind. Thank you!

how 16 to 9 is 16:9 but 10 to 2 is 5?

[@unclesam326]

ratio can be represented by either a fraction or the colon. so an aspect ratio of 10:2 is the same as 5 because it's just 10/2 which equals 5. They likely just made the distinction because dividing 16 by 9 is not a whole number.
