How to Evaluate Gearing Ratio?

Gearing Ratio evaluator uses Gearing Ratio = Elevator Deflection Angle/(Stick Length*Stick Deflection Angle) to evaluate the Gearing Ratio, Gearing Ratio is a measure of the mechanical advantage of a control system, calculated by dividing the elevator deflection angle by the product of the stick length and stick deflection angle, providing insight into the system's responsiveness and sensitivity. Gearing Ratio is denoted by 𝑮 symbol.

FAQs on Gearing Ratio

What is the formula to find Gearing Ratio?
The formula of Gearing Ratio is expressed as Gearing Ratio = Elevator Deflection Angle/(Stick Length*Stick Deflection Angle). Here is an example- 0.930233 = 0.1/(0.215*0.5).
How to calculate Gearing Ratio?
With Elevator Deflection Angle e), Stick Length (𝒍s) & Stick Deflection Angle s) we can find Gearing Ratio using the formula - Gearing Ratio = Elevator Deflection Angle/(Stick Length*Stick Deflection Angle).
What are the other ways to Calculate Gearing Ratio?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Gearing Ratio-
  • Gearing Ratio=Stick Force/Hinge MomentOpenImg
  • Gearing Ratio=Stick Force/(Hinge Moment Coefficient*0.5*Density*Flight Velocity^2*Elevator Area*Elevator Chord)OpenImg
Can the Gearing Ratio be negative?
No, the Gearing Ratio, measured in Reciprocal Length cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Gearing Ratio?
Gearing Ratio is usually measured using the 1 per Meter[m⁻¹] for Reciprocal Length. 1 per Kilometer[m⁻¹], 1 per Mile[m⁻¹], 1 per Yard[m⁻¹] are the few other units in which Gearing Ratio can be measured.
