The design of the A-10 Warthog is nearly unique. It reflects the aircraft’s mission. The large wing area, large left & right ailerons, and high wing aspect ration all contribute to the A-10’s excellent maneuverability, particularly at low speeds. The A-10 is almost as long as it is wide. The wingspan measures 57 feet 6 inches. The length of the aircraft is 53 feet 4 inches long. The wing design, wheelbase, combined with its oversized turbofan engines, allow the A-10 to take off and land on shorter, primitive airfields. These engineering choices give the aircraft the ability to land as close to the front line of battle as possible.
