The surface area of the right horizontal stabilizer on an aircraft can be calculated using basic geometric principles. The horizontal stabilizer is a tail component of an aircraft that helps control pitch, providing stability in the longitudinal axis. Here’s the formula, definition, and SI unit:
- Surface Area of Right Horizontal Stabilizer:
- Measure the length of the right horizontal stabilizer (from the root to the tip).
- Measure the width of the right horizontal stabilizer (perpendicular to its length).
- Calculate the surface area of the right horizontal stabilizer using the formula:
