STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Stick Force = Gearing Ratio*Hinge Moment
𝙁 = 𝑮*𝑯_𝒆
This formula uses 3 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.
Gearing Ratio - (Measured in 1 per Meter) - Gearing Ratio is a measure of the mechanical advantage provided by the control system of an aircraft.
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.
