TVo Calculator


This calculator is based on the TAIL VOLUME (TVo) work done by WIlliam McCombs and
Don DeLoach. HERE is the link to the Don DeLoach article.

Input your measured WING SPAN, WING AREA, HORIZONTAL STAB AREA,
 and TAIL MOMENT. Press CALCULATE and observe the results.


The CG Values are to be applied to the AVERAGE WING CHORD, as calculated. Wing and Tail Areas can be calculated in a variety of ways. Straight rectangular wings are simple span multiplied by chord.
Wings with straight tapered sections can be calculated by applying additional trangular formulae. Wings with curved sections are difficult to measure without a CAD program.
