Velocity Tail in Longitudinal Stability Formulas

Velocity Tail refers to the airspeed or velocity of the horizontal stabilizer (tail) of an aircraft relative to the surrounding air (relative wind). And is denoted by V_tail. Velocity Tail is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Velocity Tail is always positive.
