A delta wing of span \( 8 \) m has a root chord of \( 12 \) m. Its aspect ratio is

  • A.0.67
  • B.2.67
  • C.1.50
  • D.1.33

Answer: D

The area of a triangular planform is \( \tfrac{1}{2} b c_r = 0.5 \times 8 \times 12 = 48 \) m\( ^2 \), so the aspect ratio is \( 64/48 = 1.33 \). Values well below two are typical of slender deltas and are the reason such aircraft approach at very high angles of attack.
