Figure I.3: Free Body Diagram of the tail vane and rotor<br />

Both the lift and drag forces may be divided into components along the x-axis and the y-<br />

axis. It is seen that both the lift and drag forces contribute to a moment (CW) about the<br />

yaw axis, which is:<br />

Where Av is the area of the tail vane equal to 1.04 m 2 and:<br />

Aerodynamically the tail vane is considered a thin flat plate. The drag coefficient is there-<br />
