The surface area of the right stabilator on an aircraft can be calculated using basic geometric principles. A stabilator is a control surface located on the tail of an aircraft that combines the functions of both a horizontal stabilizer (for pitch control) and an elevator. Here’s the formula, definition, and SI unit:
- Surface Area of Right Stabilator:
- Measure the length of the right stabilator (from the root to the tip).
- Measure the width of the right stabilator (perpendicular to its length).
- Calculate the surface area of the right stabilator using the formula:
