Calculation of (n) loadfactor?
Does anyone know how to calculate the load factor when knowing only the airspeed and the radius of a turn?
For example V = 200 kt R = 2000 m And how do you calculate the load factor from the angle of bank? Anyone? |

Being : R= Radius, G= Gravity force, V= Speed, a= Bank Angle,n= Load Factor.
1:R=V*V/(G*Tan(a)) 2:n=1/cos(a) from 1 we find that: R/(V*V)=1/Tan(a) Tan(a)=V*V/R a=Tan -1 (V*V/R) thus n= 1/(cos(Tan-1 (V*V/R))) :ok: ps: Watch out ! use the correct units of measure. |
Sorry i forgot the "G" :} so
a=Tan-1 (V*V/(R*G)) thus n=1/(Cos(Tan-1 ((V*V/(R*G))) :8 |
Impressive, Thanx =)

'g' from AoB is much easier.
since the vertical component must equal the weight, and AoB is also the angle to the vertical at which the Lift acts; L cos AoB = W. load factor by definition is L/W, so rearranging gives L/W = 1/cos AoB n = 1/cos AoB |
Thatīs right but he didnīt had the AOB, only the turn radius was given.

Thanks for that, Ice - F may not have had AoB to start with but he did ask:
And how do you calculate the load factor from the angle of bank? |
Oops!! my mistake :8 :ok:

Hi ICEMAN
Could you pls use the 200kts and the 2000m in you formula? |
