Aspect ratio
Generally the ratio between two dimensions of an object. In tyre terminology it applies to the unloaded sidewall height of the tyre divided by its overall width. A lower aspect ratio implies a shorter, wider tire. When used to describe a wing it is the span of the airfoil (the long dimension perpendicular to the airflow) divided by its chord (the dimension parallel to the airflow).
