What is Roll damping coefficient?

Roll damping is the airplane's rolling-moment response to a roll rate. It depends on how the lift of the wings changes with roll rate.

What is roll damping moment

The rolling motion induces an AOA increase on the down-going wing, and an AOA decrease on the up-going wing which creates an opposing moment known as the roll damping moment.

How to Calculate Roll Damping Coefficient?

Roll Damping Coefficient calculator uses Roll Damping Coefficient = -(4*Derivative of Wing Lift Coefficient)/(Wing Area*Wingspan^2)*int(Chord*x^2,x,0,Wingspan/2) to calculate the Roll Damping Coefficient, Roll Damping Coefficient is a measure of the resistance to rolling motion of an aircraft, it is calculated by combining the derivative of wing lift coefficient, wing area, and wing span, integrating the chord length over half the wing span, this coefficient helps aircraft designers and engineers to optimize wing design for better roll control and overall aircraft performance, it is a critical factor in ensuring the stability and maneuverability of an aircraft.
