Aerodynamic Normal Force Formula Elements

Variables
Aerodynamic Normal Force
Aerodynamic Normal Force is the component of aerodynamic force along the yaw axis of an aircraft.
Symbol: Z
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Normal Force Coefficient
Normal Force Coefficient is the dimensionless coefficient associated with the component of aerodynamic forces along the yaw axis on an aircraft.
Symbol: Cz
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Dynamic Pressure
Dynamic Pressure is simply a convenient name for the quantity which represents the decrease in the pressure due to the velocity of the fluid.
Symbol: q
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Reference Area
The Reference Area is arbitrarily an area that is characteristic of the object being considered. For an aircraft wing, the wing's planform area is called the reference wing area or simply wing area.
Symbol: S
Measurement: AreaUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Aerodynamic Normal Force?

Aerodynamic Normal Force evaluator uses Aerodynamic Normal Force = Normal Force Coefficient*Dynamic Pressure*Reference Area to evaluate the Aerodynamic Normal Force, Aerodynamic Normal Force is a measure of the force exerted by the air pressure on an object, perpendicular to the surface of the object, resulting from the air's resistance to the object's motion, it is a crucial concept in aerodynamics, essential for understanding and predicting the behavior of aircraft, wind turbines, and other systems interacting with air. Aerodynamic Normal Force is denoted by Z symbol.
