The lift of the tail (Lt) refers to the aerodynamic force generated by the tail section of an aircraft. It contributes to the overall lift of the aircraft and plays a crucial role in providing stability and control during flight. Lift is the force that opposes gravity and enables an aircraft to overcome the force of weight, allowing it to achieve and maintain flight. The lift force acts perpendicular to the relative airflow and is responsible for keeping the aircraft airborne and controlling its altitude. The formula to calculate lift of Tail as follows:
Where:
- Lt is lift of tail in N,
- L is the Lift Force in N,
- Lw is the Lift of Wing in N.
