If vertical tail has length of the 2m then, find the value of rudder length.(a) 1.8m(b) 2.8m(c) 2m(d) 2.5mThe question was posed to me in an online quiz.This interesting question is from Control-Surface Sizing topic in chapter Initial Sizing of Aircraft Design

Answer»

The correct CHOICE is (a) 1.8m

To EXPLAIN I would SAY: Given VERTICAL length L = 2M.

For, typical aircraft rudder is extended up to 90% of the length of the vertical tail.

Hence, Rudder length = 90% of tail length = 90% of 2m = 0.9*2m = 1.8m.
