Moment Produced by Vertical Tail for given Lift Curve Slope Formula Elements

Variables
Vertical Tail Moment
Vertical Tail Moment is the moment produced by the vertical tailplane of an aircraft due to the side force acting on it.
Symbol: Nv
Measurement: Moment of ForceUnit: N*m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Vertical Tail Moment Arm
The Vertical Tail Moment Arm is the distance between the centroid of the vertical tail shape and the center of gravity of the aircraft.
Symbol: 𝒍v
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Vertical Tail Lift Curve Slope
The Vertical Tail Lift Curve Slope is the slope associated with the lift curve of a vertical tailplane of an aircraft.
Symbol: Cv
Measurement: Reciprocal AngleUnit: rad⁻¹
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Sideslip Angle
The Sideslip Angle, also called the angle of sideslip, is a term used in fluid dynamics and aerodynamics, and aviation which relates to the rotation of the aircraft centerline from the relative wind.
Symbol: β
Measurement: AngleUnit: rad
