Velocity for given turn radius

Go Flight Velocity = sqrt(Turn Radius*[g]*(sqrt(Load Factor^2-1)))

Load Factor given Turn Radius

Go Load Factor = sqrt(1+(Flight Velocity^2/([g]*Turn Radius))^2)

Turn radius

Go Turn Radius = Flight Velocity^2/([g]*sqrt((Load Factor^2)-1))

Load Factor given Turn Rate

Go Load Factor = sqrt((Flight Velocity*Turn Rate/[g])^2+1)

Velocity for given turn rate

Go Flight Velocity = [g]*sqrt(Load Factor^2-1)/Turn Rate

Turn rate

Go Turn Rate = [g]*sqrt(Load Factor^2-1)/Flight Velocity

Rate of Turn

Go Turn Rate = 1091*tan(Bank angle)/Flight Velocity

Bank angle during level turn

Go Bank angle = acos(Aircraft Weight/Lift Force)

Weight of aircraft during level turn

Go Aircraft Weight = Lift Force*cos(Bank angle)

Lift during level turn

Go Lift Force = Aircraft Weight/cos(Bank angle)

Load factor given Lift Force and Weight of Aircraft

Go Load Factor = Lift Force/Aircraft Weight

Weight for given Load Factor

Go Aircraft Weight = Lift Force/Load Factor

Lift for given load factor

Go Lift Force = Load Factor*Aircraft Weight

Lift for given load factor Formula

Lift Force = Load Factor*Aircraft Weight
F_L = n*W

What increases load factor?

Steep turns at slow airspeed, structural ice accumulation, and vertical gusts in turbulent air can increase the load factor to a critical level.
