Turn Rate for given Lift Coefficient Formula Elements

Variables
Constants
Functions
Turn Rate
Turn Rate is the rate at which an aircraft executes a turn expressed in degrees per second.
Symbol: ω
Measurement: Angular VelocityUnit: degree/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Reference Area
The Reference Area is arbitrarily an area that is characteristic of the object being considered. For an aircraft wing, the wing's planform area is called the reference wing area or simply wing area.
Symbol: S
Measurement: AreaUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Freestream Density
Freestream Density is the mass per unit volume of air far upstream of an aerodynamic body at a given altitude.
Symbol: ρ
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Lift Coefficient
The Lift Coefficient is a dimensionless coefficient that relates the lift generated by a lifting body to the fluid density around the body, the fluid velocity and an associated reference area.
Symbol: CL
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Load Factor
Load Factor is the ratio of the aerodynamic force on the aircraft to the gross weight of the aircraft.
Symbol: n
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Aircraft Weight
Aircraft Weight is the total aircraft weight at any moment during the flight or ground operation.
Symbol: W
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Gravitational acceleration on Earth
Gravitational acceleration on Earth means that the velocity of an object in free fall will increase by 9.8 m/s2 every second.
Symbol: [g]
Value: 9.80665 m/s²
sqrt
A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number.
Syntax: sqrt(Number)
