Page 5 of 10 9. Dmin at gross weight The Dmin drag for the 737-300 is 8,300 lbs. The minimum drag occurs at ^L/_D _max where the aircraft is most aerodynamically efficient. ^L/_D _max= 15 Dmin= W ^L/_D MAX Dmin = 124,500 15 Dmin=8,300 lbs 10. 737-300 Wing Planform S (Wing Area) = 1135 square feet b (Wing Span) = 94’ 9’’ from tip to tip AR (Aspect Ratio) = 9.16 Cr (Root Chord) = 7.32 % Ct (Tip Chord) = 1.62 % Taper ratio = 0.240 Sweep Angle = 25 degrees MAC (Mean Aerodynamic Chord) = 8-27.6 % << Start < Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next > End >>
