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.
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 should be greater than 0.
Flight Velocity
Flight Velocity refers to the speed at which an aircraft moves through the air.
Symbol: V
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s

How to Evaluate Turn rate?

Turn rate evaluator uses Turn Rate = [g]*sqrt(Load Factor^2-1)/Flight Velocity to evaluate the Turn Rate, Turn Rate is a measure of the angular velocity of an aircraft during a turn, calculated by considering the gravitational force, load factor, and velocity of the turning flight. Turn Rate is denoted by ω symbol.

How to evaluate Turn rate using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Turn rate, enter Load Factor (n) & Flight Velocity (V) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Turn rate

What is the formula to find Turn rate?
The formula of Turn rate is expressed as Turn Rate = [g]*sqrt(Load Factor^2-1)/Flight Velocity. Here is an example- 77.54852 = [g]*sqrt(1.11^2-1)/200.
How to calculate Turn rate?
With Load Factor (n) & Flight Velocity (V) we can find Turn rate using the formula - Turn Rate = [g]*sqrt(Load Factor^2-1)/Flight Velocity. This formula also uses Gravitational acceleration on Earth constant(s) and Square Root (sqrt) function(s).
What are the other ways to Calculate Turn Rate?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Turn Rate-
  • Turn Rate=1091*tan(Bank Angle)/Flight VelocityOpenImg
Can the Turn rate be negative?
No, the Turn rate, measured in Angular Velocity cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Turn rate?
Turn rate is usually measured using the Degree per Second[degree/s] for Angular Velocity. Radian per Second[degree/s], Radian per Day[degree/s], Radian per Hour[degree/s] are the few other units in which Turn rate can be measured.
