OK, so the center of gravity (except for some airplanes with really
smart computers) is going to be forward of the center of lift for stall recovery reasons -- that makes sense. The question I have is, for a typical GA flying machine -- take a complex single for example -- what really is the download (I'm thinking of it as induced weight with fuel burn consequences) supplied by the vertical stabilizer? It has a reasonable moment arm hanging way back there, but is it as much as say 100 pounds if the CG is near the forward limit? |
