Three of the following are planform variables. Which is a section property?

Thickness-to-chord ratio

Aspect ratio

Taper ratio

Sweep angle

  • A.Sweep angle
  • B.Thickness-to-chord ratio
  • C.Aspect ratio
  • D.Taper ratio

Answer: B

Thickness-to-chord ratio describes the aerofoil section, whereas aspect ratio, taper and sweep all describe the shape of the wing in plan. The distinction matters because the two sets are chosen at different stages and for different reasons.
