Abstract:
A method for enhancing aerodynamic efficiency of a vertical tail includes varying the ratio between the control surface local chord and the vertical stabilizer local chord along the height of the vertical tail. This variation is configured to adapt the local value of the coefficient of the side lift applied to the vertical tail to a maximum acceptable value of the side lift coefficient. As a result, the aerodynamic efficiency is maximized by applying a coefficient approaching the maximum acceptable side lift coefficient.
