Lift due to Tail only Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Lift due to Tail = Lift Force-Lift due to Wing
L_t = F_L-L_w
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Lift due to Tail - (Measured in Newton) - Lift due to Tail refers to the aerodynamic force generated by the horizontal stabilizer of an aircraft.
Lift Force - (Measured in Newton) - The Lift Force, lifting force or simply lift is the sum of all the forces on a body that force it to move perpendicular to the direction of flow.
Lift due to Wing - (Measured in Newton) - Lift due to Wing is the lift force acting on the wing (only) of an aircraft.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Lift Force: 1073.04 Newton --> 1073.04 Newton No Conversion Required

Angle of incidence of wing

LaTeX Go Wing Incidence Angle = Wing Angle of Attack-Horizontal Tail Angle of Attack-Downwash Angle+Tail Incidence Angle

Angle of Attack at Tail

LaTeX Go Horizontal Tail Angle of Attack = Wing Angle of Attack-Wing Incidence Angle-Downwash Angle+Tail Incidence Angle

Angle of Attack of Wing

LaTeX Go Wing Angle of Attack = Horizontal Tail Angle of Attack+Wing Incidence Angle+Downwash Angle-Tail Incidence Angle

Downwash angle

LaTeX Go Downwash Angle = Wing Angle of Attack-Wing Incidence Angle-Horizontal Tail Angle of Attack+Tail Incidence Angle

What is cantilever wing?

A wing that uses no external struts or bracing is a cantilever wing. All support is obtained from the wing itself. The wing spars are built in such a way that they carry all the torsion and bending loads.

How to Calculate Lift due to Tail only?

Lift due to Tail only calculator uses Lift due to Tail = Lift Force-Lift due to Wing to calculate the Lift due to Tail, Lift due to Tail only is a measure of the upward force exerted on an aircraft's tail section, calculated by subtracting the lift force of the wing from the total lift force, thereby providing a critical component in stabilizing the aircraft's longitudinal axis during flight. Lift due to Tail is denoted by L_t symbol.

How to calculate Lift due to Tail only using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Lift due to Tail only, enter Lift Force (F_L) & Lift due to Wing (L_w) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Lift due to Tail only calculation can be explained with given input values -> -776 = 1073.04-800.
