The surface area of the left anti-balance tabs on an aircraft can be calculated using basic geometric principles. Anti-balance tabs, also known as servo tabs or anti-servo tabs, are control surfaces that work in opposition to the primary control surfaces to assist in reducing control forces. Here’s the formula, definition, and SI unit:
- Surface Area of Left Anti-Balance Tabs:
- Measure the length of the left anti-balance tabs (from the root to the tip).
- Measure the width of the left anti-balance tabs (perpendicular to its length).
- Calculate the surface area of the left anti-balance tabs using the formula:
