Yawing moment coefficient Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Yawing Moment Coefficient = Yawing Moment/(Dynamic Pressure*Reference Area*Characteristic Length)
C_n = 𝑵/(q*S*𝓁)
This formula uses 5 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 - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Yawing Moment is the moment acting on the airplane about its yaw axis.
Dynamic Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Dynamic Pressure is simply a convenient name for the quantity which represents the decrease in the pressure due to the velocity of the fluid.
Reference Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Reference Area is arbitrarily an area that is characteristic of the object being considered. For an aircraft wing, the wing's planform area is called the reference wing area or simply wing area.
Characteristic Length - (Measured in Meter) - Characteristic Length (used in aerodynamics) is a reference length characteristic of the object under consideration.
