Tail moment arm for given horizontal tail volume ratio Formula Elements

Variables
Horizontal Tail Moment Arm
The Horizontal Tail Moment Arm is the distance between the lift center of the horizontal tail and the center of gravity of the aircraft.
Symbol: 𝒍t
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Horizontal Tail Volume Ratio
Horizontal Tail Volume Ratio relates the area of the horizontal tail, the distance between tail and aircraft's c.g., the wing area, and the mean aerodynamic wing chord.
Symbol: VH
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
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.
Mean Aerodynamic Chord
The Mean Aerodynamic Chord is a two-dimensional representation of the whole wing.
Symbol: cma
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Horizontal Tail Area
The Horizontal Tail Area is the surface area of the horizontal stabilizer on an aircraft, which provides pitch stability and control.
Symbol: St
Measurement: AreaUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
