Weight for given Load Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Aircraft Weight - (Measured in Newton) - Aircraft Weight refers to the total mass of an aircraft, including its structure, payload, fuel, and passengers.
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.
Load Factor - Load factor is the ratio of the aerodynamic force on the aircraft to the gross weight of the aircraft.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Lift Force: 20 Newton --> 20 Newton No Conversion Required
Load Factor: 1.11 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

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

Weight for given Load Factor Formula

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

What is g in flight?

Acceleration is described in units of the force called “g.” A pilot in a steep turn may experience forces of acceleration equivalent to many times the force of gravity. This is especially true in military fighter jets and high-performance, aerobatic aircraft where the acceleration forces may be as high as 9 g.
