Empennage 119<br />

14–4 Weights<br />

The tail weight (empennage group) model depends on the configuration: helicopters and compounds,<br />

or tiltrotors and tiltwings. Separate weight models are available for horizontal and vertical<br />

tails.<br />

The AFDD tail weight model depends on the design dive speed at sea level (input or calculated).<br />

The calculated dive speed is Vdive =1.25Vmax, from the maximum speed at the design gross weight and<br />

sea-level standard conditions.
