TAIL GEOMETRY
TAIL VOLUME COEFFICIENT
 TAIL VOLUME COEFFICIENT/ MOMENT ARM

TAIL MOMENT ARM IS 60% OF FUSELAGE LENGTH – FRONT MOUNTED PROPELLER ENGINE

TAIL MOMENT ARM IS 45-50% OF FUSELAGE LENGTH – AFT MOUNTED PROPELLER ENGINE

TAIL MOMENT ARM IS 50-55% OF FUSELAGE LENGTH – WING MOUNTED ENGINE

TAIL MOMENT ARM IS 65% OF FUSELAGE LENGTH – SAILPLANE

TAIL VOLUME COEFFICIENT REDUCES BY 10-15% - ALL MOVEABLE TAIL

VERTICAL TAIL VOLUME COEFFICIENT REDUCES BY 5% - T-TAIL DUE TO END PLATE EFFECT

HORIZONTAL TAIL VOLUME COEFFICIENT REDUCES BY 5% - CLEAN AIRFLOW IN T-TAIL

TAIL VOLUME COEFFICIENT IS ABOUT 0.1 – CANARD TYPE AIRCRAFT

TAIL ARM VARIES BETWEEN 20-50% – MOVEABLE CANARD CONTROL TYPE AIRCRAFT

AREA RATIO BETWEEN LIFTING CANARD : WING IS 25% : 75%

 CONTROL SURFACE SIZING

AILERONS SPAN EXTEND FROM 50% TO 90% OF THE WING

 CONTROL SURFACE SIZING
ELEVATOR & RUDDER EXTEND FROM SIDE OF FUSELAGE TO 90% OR TIP OF THE TAIL

ELEVATOR & RUDDER CHORD ARE TYPICALLY ABOUT 25-50% OF TAIL CHORD

AILERON & FLAP CHORD ARE TYPICALLY ABOUT 15-25% OF WING CHORD

HINGE AXIS SHOULD BE NO FARTHER AFT THAN 20% OF CONTROL SURFACE CHORD
