Point of interest for a European jet trainer,SL,wt 8000lbs,maxpwr/wt ratio .47; max ROT @8g 300kts =28.5deg/sec,radius 320 mtrs,instantaneous at load limit.
Sustained ROT @2.8G, 160 kts,rate of turn18 deg/sec,radius 275 mtrs,level.Any subsequent reduction in speed will reduce G/bank angle/ROT TO 1/0/0, with subsequent increase in radius..Chart doesn`t give any benefit for flaps,but it will decrease radius slightly..
