What is the characteristic length for calculating yawing moment?

Characteristic length is taken as the wing span for the yawing moment of an aircraft. The wingspan of an aircraft is always measured in a straight line, from wingtip to wingtip, independently of wing shape or sweep.

How to Calculate Yawing Moment?

Yawing Moment calculator uses Yawing Moment = Yawing Moment Coefficient*Dynamic Pressure*Reference Area*Characteristic Length to calculate the Yawing Moment, Yawing Moment is a measure of the rotational force that causes an aircraft to turn or yaw around its vertical axis, affected by factors such as air density, wing surface area, and length of the aircraft, it is a critical parameter in aerodynamics, influencing the stability and control of an aircraft during flight. Yawing Moment is denoted by 𝑵 symbol.

How to calculate Yawing Moment using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Yawing Moment, enter Yawing Moment Coefficient (C_n), Dynamic Pressure (q), Reference Area (S) & Characteristic Length (𝓁) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Yawing Moment calculation can be explained with given input values -> 42.672 = 1.4*10*5.08*0.6.
