How to Evaluate Elevator Stick Force?

Elevator Stick Force evaluator uses Stick Force = Elevator Deflection Angle*Hinge Moment/(Stick Length*Stick Deflection Angle) to evaluate the Stick Force, Elevator Stick Force is a measure of the longitudinal control force exerted on the stick by the pilot, calculated by considering the elevator deflection angle, hinge moment, stick length, and stick deflection angle, providing a crucial parameter for aircraft control and stability analysis. Stick Force is denoted by 𝙁 symbol.
