SUMMARY
The aspect ratio in airfoil design is defined by the formula A = b/c, where A represents the aspect ratio, b is the wingspan, and c is the mean chord length. This ratio is crucial for determining the aerodynamic efficiency of an airfoil. A higher aspect ratio typically results in lower induced drag and improved lift-to-drag ratio, making it essential for optimizing aircraft performance.
