12.66.10(b) . bank angle.
For a given bank angle the radius of turn increases and the rate of turn decreases as speed is increased
12.66.10(b) . bank angle.
For a given bank angle the radius of turn increases and the rate of turn decreases as speed is increased
12.66.10(a) . airspeed;
For a given airspeed the radius of turn decreases as the bank angle is increased – the rate of turn increase
12.66.10. State the relationship between the turn radius and rate of turn at a given;
12.66.8. In a level turn, state the relationship between bank angle and lift, drag, and loadfactor.
Load factor:
– this is the ratio of the lift force being generated by the wings at any given moment compared to the weight of the aircarft
Load Factor = Lift being generated / Weight
Bank angle – small bank angle means low load factor
Lift the greater the lift the greather the Load
The greater the angle of bank in a turn the greater the drag
12.66.6. Define load factor g.
Load factor:
– this is the ratio of the lift force being generated by the wings at any given moment compared to the weight of the aircarft
Load Factor = Lift being generated / Weight
Bank angle – small bank angle means low load factor
Lift the greater the lift the greather the Load
The greater the angle of bank in a turn the greater the drag
12.66.4(b) . force required opposing weight.
12.66.4(a) . turning force;
In a turn the wings mnust generate increased lift to provide both the centripetal force for the turn and a vertical component to counteract the weight
12.66.4. Explain the components of lift which provide the:
12.66.2. Define centripetal force.
To get an object to turn a force must be applied continually to keep it in the turn – otherwise it will just resume its travel in a straight path.
When the force is applied to make it follow a curved path it is centripetal force
