What is the context of the OP need for turn radius?
R= NM
Figure your true airspeed TAS, tailwind component TW, and FAA std bank angle of 18 degrees;
R= (V KTAS + V KTW)^2 * 0.0000449
Non-standard bank angle;
R= [(V KTAS + V KTW)^2 * (1.4589*10^-5)] / tan(desired bank angle)
Given a turn, what is your bank angle;
Bank Angle= tan^-1 {[(V KTAS + V KTW)^2 * (1.4589*10^-5)] / R}
