Lift Coefficient Given By Turn Rate Calculator

The lift coefficient  is a dimensionless parameter in aerodynamics that quantifies an object’s efficiency in generating lift as it moves through a fluid, such as air. It is used to describe the relationship between the lift force produced by the object and factors like its shape, angle of attack, and airspeed. A higher lift coefficient  is associated with an increased turn rate in aircraft. This is because the additional lift generated during a turn provides the necessary centripetal force for the curved flight path. The formula to calculate lift coefficient as follows:

  • is the lift coefficient,
  • is the weight in N,
  • is the Turn Rate in rad/s,
  • is the  gravity in m/s,
  • is the air density in kg/m3,
  • is a load factor, and
  • is the Wing area in m2.
