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

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

n = F_L/W --> 20/18

Evaluating ... ...

n = 1.11111111111111
