Vertical Tail Side Force evaluator uses Vertical Tail Side Force = -Vertical Tail Lift Curve Slope*Vertical Tail Angle of Attack*Vertical Tail Area*Vertical Tail Dynamic Pressure to evaluate the Vertical Tail Side Force, Vertical Tail Side Force is a measure of the sideways force exerted on an aircraft's vertical tail, indicating its ability to resist yaw and maintain directional stability during flight, it is dependent on the vertical tail's lift curve slope, angle of attack, area, and dynamic pressure, and is crucial in ensuring the aircraft's overall stability and control during various flight regimes. Vertical Tail Side Force is denoted by Yv symbol.
