Choice of Fin Area and Dihedral: A mathematical exposition of the working rules for the choice of nv and —lv for a new aeroplane, taking the 33½ per cent fin and rudder margin, the low‐speed rate of roll requirement and the damping of lateral oscillation rate as criteria

Abstract

THE choice of nv and — lv for a new aircraft is not simply a matter of chance; nor can it be decided entirely by considerations of stability. Below are given certain working rules, which should act as a useful guide.
