How to Evaluate Lift due to Tail only?

Lift due to Tail only evaluator uses Lift due to Tail = Lift Force-Lift due to Wing to evaluate the Lift due to Tail, Lift due to Tail only is a measure of the upward force exerted on an aircraft's tail section, calculated by subtracting the lift force of the wing from the total lift force, thereby providing a critical component in stabilizing the aircraft's longitudinal axis during flight. Lift due to Tail is denoted by Lt symbol.
