The surface area of the left dual-purpose flight control on an aircraft can be calculated using basic geometric principles. Dual-purpose flight controls are designed to serve multiple functions, such as a combination of ailerons and flaps or elevators and flaps. Here’s the formula, definition, and SI unit:
- Surface Area of Left Dual-Purpose Flight Control:
- Measure the length of the left dual-purpose flight control (from the root to the tip).
- Measure the width of the left dual-purpose flight control (perpendicular to its length).
- Calculate the surface area of the left dual-purpose flight control using the formula:
