[NSRCA-discussion] Flying stab travel

[Scott McHarg]

Howdy,

I'm looking for a little advice on a full flying stab.  I'm teaching an
Aerospace Senior Capstone Design class at Texas A&M and one of my students'
teams is scratch building a plane based on a supersonic business jet in
sub-scale utilizing an EDF.  That part isn't really part of the equation
but wanted you to understand what they're doing.

The team has figured out the design and mechanical connections which I have
approved but we are needing an idea of how much travel the stab needs.  I
understand that there are many variables including size of the stab, CG,
AC, etc. but I'm looking to give them a place to start.  I was thinking of
the Bi-Side and wondering if someone could give me, in degrees, the amount
of travel for the stab so that we have a starting point.  I'm sure I'll
have fun with the maiden but, hopefully, we will be in the ballpark.

Thanks!
Scott

Takeoff is optional.  Landing is mandatory!
