42Mars Lander: Back Shell
Covered the top half of the rover
43Mars Lander: Sky Crane
Lowers Rover from back shell
44Mars Lander: Engines/Thrusters
Used to guide to guide rover gently away from Lander and to surface
45Mars Lander: Rover
Rover
46Mars Lander: Front Shell
Covered the bottom half of the rover
47Roof Chord (c)
The "height" of the wing, not the span
48Straight Wing
The Chord (c) is constant
49Straight Elliptic Wing
The optimal wing for speed and reduced drag, shaped like an ellpise
50Trapezoidal Straight Wing
Easier to produce version of the Straight Elliptic Wing
51Tapered Wings
When the leading edge or the rear edge are moved, shaping a triangular wing
52Croot
The base of the wing where it attatches to the fuselage
53Ctip
The end of the wing opposite of the croot
54Taper Ratio (gamma)
Ctio/Croot
56Surface Area (S) =
b * Croot
57Aspect Ratio =
b**2 / S or b/Croot
58Trapezoid Surface (St) =
( ( Croot + Ctip) / 2 ) * b
59Quarter Chord Edge
The leading edge of the wing, the first quarter of the Croot
60Wing Sweep
Moving the quarter chord edge up or down on a wing. Adds speed and fragility.
61Aft Sweep
Quarter Chord is swept backwards
62Forward Sweep
The back Quarter Chord is swept forwards
63Sweep Angle Symbol (Lambda)
