The surface area of the vertical stabilizer, also known as the fin, on an aircraft can be calculated using basic geometric principles. The vertical stabilizer is an important component that provides stability in the yaw axis. Here’s the formula, definition, and SI unit:
- Surface Area of Vertical Stabilizer:
- Measure the height of the vertical stabilizer (from the base to the top).
- Measure the width of the vertical stabilizer (perpendicular to its height).
- Calculate the surface area of the vertical stabilizer using the formula:
