Tail Pitching Moment Coefficient for given Tail Volume Ratio 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.
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.
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
