Vertical Tail Efficiency for given Yawing Moment Coefficient Formula Elements

Variables
Vertical Tail Efficiency
Vertical Tail Efficiency is the tail efficiency associated with the vertical tail of an aircraft.
Symbol: ηv
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Yawing Moment Coefficient
Yawing Moment Coefficient is the coefficient associated with the moment that tends to rotate an airplane about its vertical (or yaw) axis.
Symbol: Cn
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Vertical Tail Volume Ratio
Vertical Tail Volume Ratio relates to the area of the vertical tail, the distance between the centroid of vertical tail area and aircraft's e.g., the wing area, and the wingspan.
Symbol: Vv
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Vertical Tail Lift Curve Slope
The Vertical Tail Lift Curve Slope is the slope associated with the lift curve of a vertical tailplane of an aircraft.
Symbol: Cv
Measurement: Reciprocal AngleUnit: rad⁻¹
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
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.
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.
