Vertical Tail Area Given By Vertical Tail Volume Ratio Calculator

The vertical tail area  refers to the total surface area of the vertical tail fin on an aircraft. This area is a critical aerodynamic parameter that contributes to the control of yawing motion and overall stability during flight. The vertical tail area plays a key role in influencing the aircraft’s yawing moment and is integral to the design and performance of the aircraft’s control surfaces. An increase in vertical tail area generally resulting in a higher volume ratio. The formula to calculate Vertical tail area as follows:

Where:

• V_v​ is the Vertical tail volume ratio
• S is the wing area in m²,
• $b\; is\; the\; wingspan\; in\; m$,
• l_v is the Vertical tail moment arm in m.
