I spent a day in my 757 measuring turn radius at FL350 vs 5,000 ft descending and verified that the lower you fly, the less the turning radius. I used a 25 degree bank throughout the maneuver at 220 K indicated airspeed. My GPS data is available if you want it. Both NASA and Boeing sent that info back so I have 2 copies.
