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