S = 𝒍v*Sv/(b*Vv)
This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Reference Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - 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.
Vertical tail moment arm - (Measured in Meter) - The vertical tail moment arm is the distance between the centroid of the vertical tail shape and the center of gravity of the aircraft.
Vertical tail area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The vertical tail area is the area of the surface of the vertical tail, including the submerged area to the fuselage centerline.
Wingspan - (Measured in Meter) - The Wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip.
Vertical Tail Volume Ratio - Vertical Tail Volume Ratio relates the area of the vertical tail, the distance between the centroid of vertical tail area and aircraft's c.g., the wing area, and the wingspan.
