INFLUENCE OF FIN ON Clp
The sideslipping airplane gives rise to a side force on the vertical tail (see Sec. 3.9). When the mean aerodynamic center of the vertical surface is appreciably offset from the rolling axis (see Fig. 3.19) then this force may produce a significant rolling moment. We can calculate this moment from (3.9,3). When the rudder angle is zero, that is, Sr = 0, the moment is found to be
ap(~P (t) ~ VpSFzF
thus
and
