The surface area of the left air brakes on an aircraft can be calculated using basic geometric principles. Air brakes are control surfaces that are deployed to increase drag and reduce the aircraft’s speed. Here’s the formula, definition, and SI unit:
- Surface Area of Left Air Brakes:
- Measure the length of the left air brakes (from the root to the tip).
- Measure the width of the left air brakes (perpendicular to its length).
- Calculate the surface area of the left air brakes using the formula:
