Rolling moment coefficient Formula Elements

Variables
Rolling Moment Coefficient
Rolling Moment Coefficient is the coefficient associated with the moment that tends to rotate an airplane about its roll axis.
Symbol: C𝒍
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Rolling Moment
Rolling Moment is the moment acting on the airplane about its roll axis.
Symbol: 𝑳
Measurement: Moment of ForceUnit: N*m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
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.
Characteristic Length
Characteristic Length (used in aerodynamics) is a reference length characteristic of the object under consideration.
Symbol: 𝓁
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Rolling moment coefficient?

Rolling moment coefficient evaluator uses Rolling Moment Coefficient = Rolling Moment/(Dynamic Pressure*Reference Area*Characteristic Length) to evaluate the Rolling Moment Coefficient, The Rolling moment coefficient is a measure of the rotational force that causes an object to rotate around a longitudinal axis, typically used to describe the aerodynamic characteristics of an airfoil or wing, it represents the relationship between the force of the rotating air and the physical properties of the wing, providing valuable insights for aircraft design and stability analysis. Rolling Moment Coefficient is denoted by C𝒍 symbol.
