Given:
Airplane weight = 3,300 lbs
Angle of bank Load factors equivalent (n)
0 degrees 1.0 n
10 degrees 1.015 n
30 degrees 1.154 n
45 degrees 1.414 n
60 degrees 2.000 n
70 degrees 2.923 n
80 degrees 5.747 n
85 degrees 11.473 n
90 degrees Infinity
Find:
Approximate weight during 30% banked turn while maintaining altitude
So, we multiply 3,300 lbs by 1.2 n (1.154 rounded off to nearest ten)
3,300 lbs * 1.2 n
= 3,960 lbs
Therefore, while maintaining altitude, the airplane structure would be required to support 3,960 lbs of weight during a 30° banked turn.
