In flight mechanics, the velocity for a pull-down maneuver refers to the airspeed necessary for an aircraft to descend while executing a controlled pitch movement. It is determined by factors such as the desired pitch rate, gravitational force, and the specific characteristics of the maneuver. This velocity is essential for pilots to effectively manage and control the descent trajectory during flight. The formula to calculate Velocity as follows:
Where:
- g is the gravity in m/s2.
- n is the load factor
