Yawing Moment Coefficient using Wingspan 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.
Vertical Tail Moment
Vertical Tail Moment is the moment produced by the vertical tailplane of an aircraft due to the side force acting on it.
Symbol: Nv
Measurement: Moment of ForceUnit: N*m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Wing Dynamic Pressure
Wing Dynamic Pressure is the dynamic pressure associated with the wing of an aircraft.
Symbol: Qw
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.
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.
