Big wings
Does anyone know things like
root chord
root thickness
total enclosed volume
total structural weight of wing
total MTOW of the plane
for the following planes:
Spruce Goose
Spruce Goose had wingspan about 97,6 m, area around 1000 square metres, thus mean chord about 10 m. The root chord allegedly 15,5 m and again allegedly the biggest - but see some other planes.
The root thickness allegedly 3,5 m.
Who has an idea about the enclosed volume, wing structural weight and MTOW supported?
B-36
Convair B-36 seems to be the biggest mass-produced piston propeller plane.
Wingspan was about 70 m. Wing root thickness about 2,3 m.
Does anyone know the wing enclosed volume, the wing structural weight and MTOW?
B-747-400
B747 is the biggest civil jet now in mass service. Wingspan 64,4 m.
Can anyone quote root chord, root thickness, total weight of wing and volume enclosed?
An-225
An-225 is the biggest landplane. Wingspan 88,4 m.
Does anyone know the root chord, root thickness, total enclosed volume and structural weight of the wing?
Ai-380-800
Airbus 380-800 is a big plane now having several flying, so pretty much in a decided shape.
Wingspan 79,8 m. Does anyone know the root chord, root thickness, enclosed volume and the weight of wing?
Concorde
Concorde had a delta wing, with root chord of 29 m or so.
What was the root thickness, enclosed volume and structural weight of wing?
