Pull-down maneuver radius Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Turn Radius = (Pull-Down Maneuver Velocity^2)/([g]*(Load Factor+1))
R = (V_pull-down^2)/([g]*(n+1))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Turn Radius - (Measured in Meter) - Turn Radius is the radius of the flight path causing the airplane to turn in a circular path.
Pull-Down Maneuver Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Pull-Down Maneuver Velocity refers to the velocity of an aircraft during a sharp pitch-down maneuver, often resulting in a rapid descent.
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

Pull-Down Maneuver Velocity: 797.71 Meter per Second --> 797.71 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Load Factor: 1.2 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R = (V_pull-down^2)/([g]*(n+1)) --> (797.71^2)/([g]*(1.2+1))

Evaluating ... ...

R = 29494.8856179689

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

29494.8856179689 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

29494.8856179689 ≈ 29494.89 Meter <-- Turn Radius
