Tail Pitching Moment Coefficient for given Tail Efficiency Formula Elements

Variables
Tail Pitching Moment Coefficient
Tail Pitching Moment Coefficient is the coefficient of pitching moment associated with the horizontal tail of an aircraft.
Symbol: Cmt
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Tail Efficiency
Tail Efficiency is defined as the ratio of dynamic pressure associated with the tail to dynamic pressure associated with an aircraft's wing.
Symbol: η
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be between 0.8 to 1.2.
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.
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.
Tail Lift Coefficient
Tail Lift Coefficient is the lift coefficient associated with the tail (only) of an aircraft. It is a dimensionless quantity.
Symbol: CTlift
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
