CS VLA - Aircraft Basic Data - Example

This document provides basic dimensional data for an example aircraft, including wing, tailplane, and fin measurements and positions. It lists wingspan, chords, sweeps, aspect ratios, areas, and positions of centers and percentages of chord for the wing, tailplane, and fin. Distances between components and stability-related values like moment arms and volume coefficients are also specified.

T.E. Sweep angle 2.54 degrees T.E. Sweep angle 1.98 degrees Fin TE sweep angle -6.43 degrees

Wing aspect ratio 7.217391 Tailplane aspect ratio 3.06 Fin aspect ratio 1.117318

Standard Mean Chord (c) 1.15 m Tailplane Std Mean Chord 0.85 m Fin Standard Mean Chord 1.292 m
Gross Wing Area (S) 9.545 m² Gross Tailplane Area 2.21 m² Gross fin area 1.08295 m²
Aerodynamic Mean Chord 1.157 m TP Aerodynamic Mean Chord 0.853 m Fin Aerodynamic Mean Chord 1.031 m
Pos'n of SMC aft of root LE 0.055 m Pos'n of TP SMC aft of root LE 0.065 m Pos'n of fin SMC aft of root LE 0.350 m
Pos'n of 25%c aft of root LE 0.344609 m Pos'n of TP 25%C aft of root LE 0.278 m Pos'n of fin 25%C aft of root LE 0.608 m

Distance between root leading edges of wing and tailplane 2.79 m

Tailplane Moment Arm = 2.724 m (Distance between wing and tailplane aerodynamic centres)

Tail Volume coefficient 0.55 Typical range 0.3 - 0.65 (0.35 - 0.55 for all-flying tails)
Higher value = greater stability

Distance between root leading edges of wing and fin 2.75 m

Fin Moment Arm = 3.013 m (Distance between wing and fin aerodynamic centres)

Fin Volume coefficient 0.04 Typical range 0.03 to 0.05


Higher value = greater stability
High wing aircraft generally need a value towards the upper end of the range
