Load Factor given Pull-UP Maneuver Radius Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Load factor = 1+((Pull-Up Maneuver Velocity^2)/(Turn Radius*[g]))
n = 1+((V_pull-up^2)/(R*[g]))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Load factor - Load factor is the ratio of the aerodynamic force on the aircraft to the gross weight of the aircraft.
Pull-Up Maneuver Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Pull-Up Maneuver Velocity refers to the velocity of an aircraft during a sharp pitch-up maneuver, often resulting in a rapid ascent.
Turn Radius - (Measured in Meter) - Turn Radius is the radius of the flight path causing the airplane to turn in a circular path.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Pull-Up Maneuver Velocity: 240.52 Meter per Second --> 240.52 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Turn Radius: 29495.25 Meter --> 29495.25 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

n = 1+((V_pull-up^2)/(R*[g])) --> 1+((240.52^2)/(29495.25*[g]))

Evaluating ... ...

n = 1.19999983307669

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.19999983307669 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.19999983307669 ≈ 1.2 <-- Load factor
