For the sake of simplicity, I neglected the effect of the total airfoil, non-linear acceleration, instantaneous force couples and definitely wind in the Vmc(g,l{1,2} or a) picture.
The more complete picture would factor in such variables, but preemptively establishing Vmc parameters without flight testing on the basis of calculation alone would be very difficult. I know that newer software can deal better with the dynamic forces and modeling of the total airfoil section etc. This may prove benificial to flight test engineers giving more forwarning when doing such testing. The maximum bank angle limits 4.0 deg. 5.0 deg etc. are established by civil aviation airworthiness codes. The bank angle to deal with side slip angle beta are minimized where practicable.
In the above I neglected to state that the variable b (bravo] in the relation Cn=N/qSb is the wing span.
