Yawing moment coefficient Formula Elements

Variables
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.
Yawing Moment
Yawing Moment is the moment acting on the airplane about its yaw axis.
Symbol: 𝑵
Measurement: Moment of ForceUnit: N*m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Dynamic Pressure
Dynamic Pressure is simply a convenient name for the quantity which represents the decrease in the pressure due to the velocity of the fluid.
Symbol: q
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
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.
Characteristic Length
Characteristic Length (used in aerodynamics) is a reference length characteristic of the object under consideration.
Symbol: 𝓁
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Yawing moment coefficient?

Yawing moment coefficient evaluator uses Yawing Moment Coefficient = Yawing Moment/(Dynamic Pressure*Reference Area*Characteristic Length) to evaluate the Yawing Moment Coefficient, Yawing Moment Coefficient is a measure of the rotation of an aircraft or missile around its vertical axis, influenced by the interaction between the rotating body and the surrounding air or fluid, which affects its stability and control during flight. Yawing Moment Coefficient is denoted by Cn symbol.

How to evaluate Yawing moment coefficient using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Yawing moment coefficient, enter Yawing Moment (𝑵), Dynamic Pressure (q), Reference Area (S) & Characteristic Length (𝓁) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Yawing moment coefficient
