The aspect ratio is calculated by
Dividing the wing length by the average cord
Dividing the wing length by weight
Dividing the airplane weight by horsepower
Wing loading is calculated by
Dividing the airplane weight by wing area
Adding the weight of passengers and fuel
Multiplying the area by the weight
When flying from an area of high temperature to low temperature

Increase power
Parasitic drag is caused by
Increasing the angle of attack
Any aircraft surface that deflects or interferes with smooth airflow
Flying too slow
Induced drag is generated
By the airflow as it circulates around the wing as it creates lift
By objects protruding from the aircraft
By the microscopic rough surfaces of the aircraft
