Control stick length for given gearing ratio Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Stick Length = Elevator Deflection Angle/(Gearing Ratio*Stick Deflection Angle)
𝒍_s = δ_e/(𝑮*δ_s)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Stick Length - (Measured in Meter) - Stick Length is the length of the control stick (to move the control surface) of an aircraft.
Elevator Deflection Angle - (Measured in Radian) - The Elevator Deflection Angle is the angle made by the elevator of an aircraft with the horizontal for an applied stick force.
Gearing Ratio - (Measured in 1 per Meter) - Gearing Ratio is a measure of the mechanical advantage provided by the control system of an aircraft.
Stick Deflection Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Stick Deflection Angle is the angle made by the control stick (used to move control surface) of an aircraft with the vertical.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Elevator Deflection Angle: 0.1 Radian --> 0.1 Radian No Conversion Required
Gearing Ratio: 0.930233 1 per Meter --> 0.930233 1 per Meter No Conversion Required
Stick Deflection Angle: 0.5 Radian --> 0.5 Radian No Conversion Required

Where is the center of lift on a wing?

The center of lift is the point where all pressure forces on the wing can be assumed to act. This is the point where there is an upwards lift force and no pitching moment at all.
