Definition of Spanwise. Meaning of Spanwise. Synonyms of Spanwise

- control spanwise airflow over the wing. Dogtooth leading edge: creates a sharp discontinuity in the airflow over the wing, disrupting spanwise flow. Notched...
- with more usable space. Air flowing over any swept wing tends to move spanwise towards the aftmost end of the wing. On a rearward-swept wing this is outwards...
- partial-span flaps; spanwise from near the wing root to the inboard end of the ailerons. When partial-span flaps are extended they alter the spanwise lift distribution...
- decrease in the spanwise direction from root to tip, and the pressure distributions around the airfoil sections change accordingly in the spanwise direction...
- edge angle, but also the spanwise airflow from the wing root. At the wing tip the airflow can end up being almost all spanwise, as opposed to front-to-back...
- and some resistance to spinning. Washout may also be used to modify the spanwise lift distribution to reduce lift-induced drag. Washout is commonly achieved...
- low wing loading and fixed leading-edge conical camber that varies with spanwise position along the wing. Airfoil thickness ratios vary from 5.9% at the...
- 3D extrusion of an airfoil in the spanwise direction), the first axis generating the surface is always in the spanwise direction. In aerodynamics and thin...
- tail surfaces. As the primary causes of the pitch-up problem are due to spanwise flow and more loading at the tips, measures to address these issues can...
- and promote good low-speed handling qualities. A leading-edge slot is a spanwise gap in each wing, allowing air to flow from below the wing to its upper...
