Elevator Stick Force Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Stick Force = Elevator Deflection Angle*Hinge Moment/(Stick Length*Stick Deflection Angle)
𝙁 = δ_e*𝑯_𝒆/(𝒍_s*δ_s)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Stick Force - (Measured in Newton) - Stick Force is the force exerted on the control column by the pilot of an airplane in flight.
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.
Hinge Moment - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Hinge Moment is the moment acting on a control surface that the pilot must overcome by exerting a force on the control stick.
Stick Length - (Measured in Meter) - Stick Length is the length of the control stick (to move the control surface) 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.
