Turn Rate = [g]*(1+Load factor)/Velocity
ω = [g]*(1+n)/v
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables
Constants Used
[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665
Variables Used
Turn Rate - (Measured in Radian per Second) - Turn Rate is the rate at which an aircraft executes a turn expressed in degrees per second.
Load factor - Load factor is the ratio of the aerodynamic force on the aircraft to the gross weight of the aircraft.
Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction) and is the rate of change of the position of an object with respect to time.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Load factor: 1.2 --> No Conversion Required
Velocity: 60 Meter per Second --> 60 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula

What are the scissors?

The scissors are a series of turn reversals and flight path overshoots intended to slow the relative forward motion (downrange travel) of the aircraft in an attempt to either force a dangerous overshoot, on the part of the defender, or prevent a dangerous overshoot on the attacker's part.
