Load factor given Lift Force and Weight of Aircraft Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Load Factor = Lift Force/Aircraft Weight
n = F_L/W
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Load Factor - Load factor is the ratio of the aerodynamic force on the aircraft to the gross weight of the aircraft.
Lift Force - (Measured in Newton) - Lift Force is the aerodynamic force exerted on an object, such as an aircraft wing, perpendicular to the oncoming airflow.
Aircraft Weight - (Measured in Newton) - Aircraft Weight refers to the total mass of an aircraft, including its structure, payload, fuel, and passengers.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Lift Force: 20 Newton --> 20 Newton No Conversion Required
Aircraft Weight: 18 Newton --> 18 Newton No Conversion Required

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

Load factor given Lift Force and Weight of Aircraft Formula

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

What is the airline load factor?

The load factor is a metric used in the airline industry that measures the percentage of available seating capacity that has been filled with passengers. A high load factor indicates that an airline has sold most of its available seats and is preferred over a low load factor.

How to Calculate Load factor given Lift Force and Weight of Aircraft?

Load factor given Lift Force and Weight of Aircraft calculator uses Load Factor = Lift Force/Aircraft Weight to calculate the Load Factor, Load factor given Lift Force and Weight of Aircraft is defined as the ratio of lift force to the weight acting on the aircraft.
