Introduction

This document outlines the initial sizing calculations for the SAE Aero Design aircraft, based on the principles from Sadraey’s "Aircraft Design".

Tail Sizing

The tail volume coefficients were determined using the following formulas: \[V_h = \frac{L_h S_h}{c S_{ref}}\] \[V_v = \frac{L_v S_v}{b S_{ref}}\]
