Radius of Turn
Sorry guys I know it's been here before but I cannot find the answer:
What is the formula for calculating radius of turn using speed (preferably kts) and angle of bank? Many thanks to the first answer |

or alternatively stick in: "radius of turn" speed aircraft into Google - plenty of results using this specific search. |
R = (V*V)/(g*tan theta)
(R = V squared divided by g times tan theta) where R = Radius of Turn (metres) V = Speed (metres/sec) g = Gravity = 9.81 ms-2 theta = angle of bank To use V in knots and obtain R in nautical miles, adjust the formula to: R = (V x V)/(68,965 x tan theta) Can't seem to post formulae or mathematical symbols? |
Thanks Bellerophon + Superpilot a couple of stars, Never thought of trying it on google :)
