Rudder Deflection Angle
Rudder Deflection Angle is a lateral force and hence a bigger yawing moment (N), leading to a more pronounced yaw.
Symbol: δr
Measurement: AngleUnit: rad
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Dynamic Pressure at Vertical Tail
The Dynamic Pressure at Vertical Tail of an aircraft is the pressure exerted by the air flowing past the tail due to the aircraft's forward motion.
Symbol: Qv
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Dynamic Pressure at Wing
Dynamic Pressure at Wing Represents the kinetic energy per unit volume of air due to its motion.
Symbol: Qw
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Distance between Rudder Hinge Line and Cg
Distance between Rudder Hinge Line and Cg is the geometric property which define the moment arm of the rudder force, affecting the overall yawing moment produced.
Symbol: lv
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Vertical Tail Area
The vertical tail area is the area of the surface of the vertical tail, including the submerged area to the fuselage centerline.
Symbol: Sv
Measurement: AreaUnit: m²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Wingspan
The Wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip.
Symbol: b
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Wing Reference Area
Wing Reference Area is the planform area, refers to the projected area of the wing, as if viewed directly from above.
Symbol: s
Measurement: AreaUnit: m²
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Lift Coefficient
lift coefficient is a dimensionless quantity that relates the lift generated by a lifting body to the fluid density around the body, the fluid velocity, and an associated reference area.
Symbol: dCl
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Deviated Rudder Deflection Angle
Deviated Rudder Deflection Angle is a lateral force and hence a bigger yawing moment (N), leading to a more pronounced yaw.
Symbol: dδr
Measurement: AngleUnit: rad
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Yawing Moment Coefficient
Yawing moment coefficient is the coefficient associated with the moment that tends to rotate an airplane about its vertical (or yaw) axis.
Symbol: Cn
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
