Sideslip Angle for Aircraft Formula Elements

Variables
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
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Vertical Tail Angle of Attack
Vertical Tail Angle of Attack is the angle of attack experienced by the vertical tailplane of an aircraft.
Symbol: αv
Measurement: AngleUnit: rad
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Sidewash Angle
Sidewash Angle is caused by the flow field distortion due to the wings and fuselage. It is analogous to the downwash angle for the horizontal tailplane.
Symbol: σ
Measurement: AngleUnit: rad
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
