Wing Area for given Yawing Moment Coefficient Formula Elements

Variables
Reference Area
The Reference Area is arbitrarily an area that is characteristic of the object being considered. For an aircraft wing, the wing's planform area is called the reference wing area or simply wing area.
Symbol: S
Measurement: AreaUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Vertical Tail Moment Arm
The Vertical Tail Moment Arm is the distance between the centroid of the vertical tail shape and the center of gravity of the aircraft.
Symbol: 𝒍v
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Vertical Tail Area
The Vertical Tail Area is the area of the surface of the vertical tail, including the submerged area to the fuselage centerline.
Symbol: Sv
Measurement: AreaUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Vertical Tail Dynamic Pressure
Vertical Tail Dynamic Pressure is the dynamic pressure associated with the vertical tail of an aircraft.
Symbol: Qv
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
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.
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.
Wingspan
The Wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip.
Symbol: b
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Wing Dynamic Pressure
Wing Dynamic Pressure is the dynamic pressure associated with the wing of an aircraft.
Symbol: Qw
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
