Weight of aircraft during level turn Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Aircraft Weight = Lift Force*cos(Bank angle)
W = FL*cos(Φ)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables
Functions Used
cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)
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.
Bank angle - (Measured in Radian) - Bank angle is the angle between the lift vector and the vertical during a level turn of the aircraft.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Lift Force: 20 Newton --> 20 Newton No Conversion Required
Bank angle: 0.45 Radian --> 0.45 Radian No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
W = FL*cos(Φ) --> 20*cos(0.45)
Evaluating ... ...
W = 18.0089420470535
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
18.0089420470535 Newton --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
18.0089420470535 18.00894 Newton <-- Aircraft Weight
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

13 Turning Flight Calculators

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 of aircraft during level turn Formula

Aircraft Weight = Lift Force*cos(Bank angle)
W = FL*cos(Φ)

How do planes turn?

The ailerons raise and lower the wings. The pilot controls the roll of the plane by raising one aileron or the other with a control wheel. Turning the control wheel clockwise raises the right aileron and lowers the left aileron, which rolls the aircraft to the right. The rudder works to control the yaw of the plane.
