Rudder Control Effectiveness Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Yawing Moment Coefficient = Yawing Moment with Rudder Deflection Angle*Rudder Deflection Angle
Cn = Cnδr*δr
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Yawing Moment Coefficient - Yawing moment coefficient is the coefficient associated with the moment that tends to rotate an airplane about its vertical (or yaw) axis.
Yawing Moment with Rudder Deflection Angle - Yawing moment with rudder deflection angle is the rate of change of deflection.
Rudder Deflection Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Rudder Deflection Angle is a lateral force and hence a bigger yawing moment (N), leading to a more pronounced yaw.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Yawing Moment with Rudder Deflection Angle: 0.96 --> No Conversion Required
Rudder Deflection Angle: 7.5 Radian --> 7.5 Radian No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Cn = Cnδrr --> 0.96*7.5
Evaluating ... ...
Cn = 7.2
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
7.2 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
7.2 <-- Yawing Moment Coefficient

How to Calculate Rudder Control Effectiveness?

Rudder Control Effectiveness calculator uses Yawing Moment Coefficient = Yawing Moment with Rudder Deflection Angle*Rudder Deflection Angle to calculate the Yawing Moment Coefficient, Rudder Control Effectiveness is a measure of an aircraft's ability to respond to rudder input, which affects its directional control during flight, particularly during takeoff, landing, and low-speed flight regimes. Yawing Moment Coefficient is denoted by Cn symbol.

How to calculate Rudder Control Effectiveness using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Rudder Control Effectiveness, enter Yawing Moment with Rudder Deflection Angle (Cnδr) & Rudder Deflection Angle r) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Rudder Control Effectiveness calculation can be explained with given input values -> 52.5 = 0.96*7.5.

FAQ

What is Rudder Control Effectiveness?
Rudder Control Effectiveness is a measure of an aircraft's ability to respond to rudder input, which affects its directional control during flight, particularly during takeoff, landing, and low-speed flight regimes and is represented as Cn = Cnδrr or Yawing Moment Coefficient = Yawing Moment with Rudder Deflection Angle*Rudder Deflection Angle. Yawing moment with rudder deflection angle is the rate of change of deflection & Rudder Deflection Angle is a lateral force and hence a bigger yawing moment (N), leading to a more pronounced yaw.
How to calculate Rudder Control Effectiveness?
Rudder Control Effectiveness is a measure of an aircraft's ability to respond to rudder input, which affects its directional control during flight, particularly during takeoff, landing, and low-speed flight regimes is calculated using Yawing Moment Coefficient = Yawing Moment with Rudder Deflection Angle*Rudder Deflection Angle. To calculate Rudder Control Effectiveness, you need Yawing Moment with Rudder Deflection Angle (Cnδr) & Rudder Deflection Angle r). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Yawing Moment with Rudder Deflection Angle & Rudder Deflection Angle and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
How many ways are there to calculate Yawing Moment Coefficient?
In this formula, Yawing Moment Coefficient uses Yawing Moment with Rudder Deflection Angle & Rudder Deflection Angle. We can use 2 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -
  • Yawing Moment Coefficient = -(Dynamic Pressure at Vertical Tail/Dynamic Pressure at Wing)*((Distance between Rudder Hinge Line and Cg*Vertical Tail Area)/(Wingspan*Wing Reference Area))*(Coefficient of Lift/Deviated Rudder Deflection Angle)*Rudder Deflection Angle
  • Yawing Moment Coefficient = Negative Yawing Moment/Dynamic Pressure at Wing*Wing Reference Area*Wingspan
