vertical_tail_planform_raymer(vertical_stabilizer, wing, l_vt, c_vt)

Adjusts reference area before calling generic wing planform function to compute wing planform values.

Assumptions: None

Source: Raymer

Inputs: vertical_stabilizer [RCAIDE data structure] wing [RCAIDE data structure] (should be the main wing) l_vt [m] length from wing mean aerodynamic chord (MAC) to horizontal stabilizer MAC c_vt [-] horizontal tail coefficient (Raymer specific) .02 = Sailplane, .04 = homebuilt,

.04 = GA single engine, .07 = GA twin engine, .04 = agricultural, .08 = twin turboprop, .06 = flying boat, .06 = jet trainer, .07 = jet fighter .08 = military cargo/bomber, .09 = jet transport

Outputs: vertical_stabilier.areas.reference [m^2] Other changes to vertical_stabilizer (see wing_planform)

Properties Used: N/A
