Hinge moment coefficient calculator

The hinge moment coefficient (Cm) is defined as the ratio of the aerodynamic moment around the control surface hinge point to a reference parameter. This reference parameter is often related to the aircraft’s aerodynamic configuration, such as the dynamic pressure of the airflow, the wing area, or the mean aerodynamic chord.
He means hinge
ρ means density
Se means area of elevator aft of the hinge line
Ce is the chord
