Practice question
What is the aerodynamic advantage of designing an aircraft wing with a high aspect ratio?
- It reduces induced drag, making the wing highly efficient at cruise speeds and glide profiles.
- It reduces parasite drag, allowing higher speeds near sea level.
- It increases the structural strength of the wing, preventing flutter at high speeds.
- It reduces the physical space required for parking and taxiing at aerodromes.
Answer: A — It reduces induced drag, making the wing highly efficient at cruise speeds and glide profiles.
