Weight of aircraft during level turn Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Aircraft Weight = Lift Force*cos(Bank Angle)
W = F_L*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 axis 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 = F_L*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

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.
