Pull-Down Maneuver Rate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Constants Used

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

Variables Used

Pull-Down Turn Rate - (Measured in Radian per Second) - Pull-Down Turn Rate refers to the rate at which an aircraft executes a pull down maneuver.
Load Factor - Load Factor is the ratio of the aerodynamic force on the aircraft to the gross weight of the aircraft.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

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

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

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

Evaluating ... ...

ω_pull-down = 0.0270457058329468

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0270457058329468 Radian per Second -->1.5496047981805 Degree per Second (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1.5496047981805 ≈ 1.549605 Degree per Second <-- Pull-Down Turn Rate

Velocity for given Pull-Up Maneuver Radius

LaTeX Go Pull-Up Maneuver Velocity = sqrt(Turn Radius*[g]*(Load Factor-1))

Load Factor given Pull-UP Maneuver Radius

LaTeX Go Load Factor = 1+((Pull-Up Maneuver Velocity^2)/(Turn Radius*[g]))

Pull-up maneuver radius

LaTeX Go Turn Radius = (Pull-Up Maneuver Velocity^2)/([g]*(Load Factor-1))

Pull-Up Maneuver Rate

LaTeX Go Turn Rate = [g]*(Pull-Up Load Factor-1)/Pull-Up Maneuver Velocity

Pull-Down Maneuver Rate Formula

LaTeX Go

Pull-Down Turn Rate = [g]*(1+Load Factor)/Pull-Down Maneuver Velocity
ω_pull-down = [g]*(1+n)/V_pull-down

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.

How to Calculate Pull-Down Maneuver Rate?

Pull-Down Maneuver Rate calculator uses Pull-Down Turn Rate = [g]*(1+Load Factor)/Pull-Down Maneuver Velocity to calculate the Pull-Down Turn Rate, The Pull-Down Maneuver Rate quantifies the rate at which an aircraft descends during a pull-down maneuver. This formula calculates the pull-down rate based on gravitational acceleration, the load factor, and the velocity during the pull-down maneuver. Understanding and applying this formula is essential for pilots and engineers to optimize the descent rate. Pull-Down Turn Rate is denoted by ω_pull-down symbol.
