Lift Coefficient Roll Control
The Lift Coefficient Roll Control is a dimensionless quantity that shows how much lift a lifting body creates relative to the fluid density, velocity, and an associated reference area.
Symbol: Cl
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Derivative of Wing Lift Coefficient
Derivative of Wing Lift Coefficient is the lift curve slope, which is a measure of how much lift changes when the angle of attack of an aircraft changes.
Symbol: Clαw
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Flap Effectiveness Parameter
The Flap Effectiveness Parameter is a measure of how much flaps improve an aircraft's aerodynamic performance.
Symbol: τ
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Deflection of Aileron
The Deflection of Aileron refers to the angular displacement of the aileron control surface from its neutral position.
Symbol: δa
Measurement: AngleUnit: rad
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Wing Area
The Wing Area, S, is the projected area of the planform and is bounded by the leading and trailing edges and the wing tips.
Symbol: S
Measurement: AreaUnit: m²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Wingspan
The Wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip.
Symbol: b
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Chord
The Chord is the distance between the trailing edge and the point where the chord intersects the leading edge.
Symbol: c
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Initial Length
Initial Length is a length between wing center to aileron start point.
Symbol: y1
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Final Length
Final Length is a length between center of wing to the aileron end point.
Symbol: y2
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
