The formula for calculating the mass of the rudder in aircraft design depends on various factors, including the material used, shape, and size of the rudder. The general formula can be expressed as:
- Mass of Rudder (M) is the mass of the rudder in kilograms (kg).
- Volume of Rudder (V) is the volume of the rudder in cubic meters (m³).
- Density of Rudder Material (ρ) is the density of the material from which the rudder is constructed, measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
