The surface area of the left horizontal stabilizer on an aircraft can be calculated using basic geometric principles. The horizontal stabilizer is a tail component of an aircraft that helps control pitch, providing stability in the longitudinal axis. Here’s the formula, definition, and SI unit:
- Surface Area of Left Horizontal Stabilizer:
- Measure the length of the left horizontal stabilizer (from the root to the tip).
- Measure the width of the left horizontal stabilizer (perpendicular to its length).
- Calculate the surface area of the left horizontal stabilizer using the formula:
