| Webbing Length Variable | Length (in) | Factor of Safety | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|---|
| WA,H | 295.4 | 4 | The absolute minimum factor of safety required for the constraints is a little above 3.6 so that was rounded up to 4. |
| WA,E,F,G | 189.8 | 1 | The 5DD in the constraint equation was determined arbitrarily so the factor of safety is redundant. |
| WA,B | 473.8 | 1 | The 4DM in the constraint equation was determined arbitrarily so the factor of safety is redundant. |
| WA,E,F | 17.8 | 1 | A factor of safety is not desirable here because the exact length is desired. |
| WC,D | 270 | 10 | In subsonic flow, upstream disturbances could disrupt the airflow using minimal length on this webbing. |
| WD,F | 12 | 1 | There's no clear constraint on this length, so an arbitrary small length was chosen. |
