The surface area of the left 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 Left Stabilator:
- Measure the length of the left stabilator (from the root to the tip).
- Measure the width of the left stabilator (perpendicular to its length).
- Calculate the surface area of the left stabilator using the formula:
