The surface area of the left elevators on an aircraft can be calculated using basic geometric principles. Elevators are control surfaces on the horizontal stabilizer that are used for pitch control. Here’s the formula, definition, and SI unit:
- Surface Area of Left Elevators:
- Measure the length of the left elevators (from the root to the tip).
- Measure the width of the left elevators (perpendicular to its length).
- Calculate the surface area of the left elevators using the formula:
