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

W = F_L/n --> 20/1.11

Evaluating ... ...

W = 18.018018018018

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

18.018018018018 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

18.018018018018 ≈ 18.01802 Newton <-- Aircraft Weight

Load Factor given Turn Radius

LaTeX Go Load Factor = sqrt(1+(Flight Velocity^2/([g]*Turn Radius))^2)

Load Factor given Turn Rate

LaTeX Go Load Factor = sqrt((Flight Velocity*Turn Rate/[g])^2+1)

Velocity for given turn rate

LaTeX Go Flight Velocity = [g]*sqrt(Load Factor^2-1)/Turn Rate

Turn rate

LaTeX Go Turn Rate = [g]*sqrt(Load Factor^2-1)/Flight Velocity

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.

How to Calculate Weight for given Load Factor?

Weight for given Load Factor calculator uses Aircraft Weight = Lift Force/Load Factor to calculate the Aircraft Weight, Weight for given Load Factor is a measure of the weight of an object that is calculated by dividing the lift force during turning flight by the load factor during turning flight. Aircraft Weight is denoted by W symbol.
