Aerodynamic Side Force Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Aerodynamic Side Force = Side Force Coefficient*Dynamic Pressure*Reference Area
Y = C_y*q*S
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Aerodynamic Side Force - (Measured in Newton) - Aerodynamic Side Force is the component of aerodynamic force along the pitch axis of an aircraft.
Side Force Coefficient - Side Force Coefficient is the dimensionless coefficient associated with the component of aerodynamic forces along the pitch axis on an aircraft.
Dynamic Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Dynamic Pressure is simply a convenient name for the quantity which represents the decrease in the pressure due to the velocity of the fluid.
Reference Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Reference Area is arbitrarily an area that is characteristic of the object being considered. For an aircraft wing, the wing's planform area is called the reference wing area or simply wing area.

What is the most aerodynamic object?

For speeds slower than the speed of sound, the most aerodynamically efficient shape is the teardrop. The teardrop has a rounded nose that tapers as it moves backwards, forming a narrow, yet rounded tail, which gradually brings the air around the object back together instead of creating eddy currents.

How to Calculate Aerodynamic Side Force?

Aerodynamic Side Force calculator uses Aerodynamic Side Force = Side Force Coefficient*Dynamic Pressure*Reference Area to calculate the Aerodynamic Side Force, Aerodynamic Side Force is a measure of the sideways force exerted on an object, such as an aircraft or vehicle, as it moves through the air, which is calculated by multiplying the side force coefficient, dynamic pressure, and reference area, this force affects the object's stability and direction, and is a critical factor in the design and operation of aircraft, cars, and other vehicles that interact with the air. Aerodynamic Side Force is denoted by Y symbol.

How to calculate Aerodynamic Side Force using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Aerodynamic Side Force, enter Side Force Coefficient (C_y), Dynamic Pressure (q) & Reference Area (S) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Aerodynamic Side Force calculation can be explained with given input values -> 38.608 = 0.76*10*5.08.
