Vertical stabilizers
On Feb 28, 5:21 pm, a wrote:
I am clearly missing something here. I use the control surfaces to roll into a turn, then return them to neutral and trim away the back pressure once the desired bank is established in a coordinated turn. I don't think in that case the airplane knows it's in a turn. The G vector in normal to the wings and the fuselage centerline, but we will of course be experiencing more than 1 G. Are you using any rudder in the established turn? If not, you either have a very tame airplane, or the turn isn't quite coordinated. Introducing bank causes the airplane to move sideways, and the fin and rudder resist sideways movement so that the nose is forced to change direction. Therefore, there is lateral force being generated by the vertical surfaces and a vortex will be produced. Dan |
