Hi Paul,

 Can someone out there give me a simple yet accurate definition of the term "aspect ratio?"

Thanks,
Robin

The simplest is applied to a purely rectangular wing and that is the
the span divided by the cord. It gets more complicated when you start talking
about other plan forms such as tapered or elliptical.
