More turn radius
JPI33600;
Perhaps you would like to also look at a spiral dive. For 205t, FL350, M.82 the max. available loadfactor in normal law is n=1.662 corresponding to a bank angle of 53 degrees in a coördinated (no-slip) turn. The drag coëfficient in this condition results in a flight path angle for zero thrust of 6.4 degrees down, or a rate of descent of 5425 ft/min. Radius of turn is 2.6 nm, rate of turn 3 deg/s, so 360 deg. takes 2 minutes.
