THE DERIVATIVE C„

The side force due to rolling is often negligible. When it is not, the con­tributions that need to be considered are those from the wingf and from the vertical tail. The vertical-tail effect may be estimated in the light of its angle-of-attack change (Fig. 8.12) as follows. Let the mean change in a. F (Fig. 8.2) due to the rolling velocity be
