Angular velocity in a turning flight Calculator

The angular velocity in turning flight refers to the rate at which an aircraft changes its heading while executing a turn. It is a measure of how quickly the aircraft rotates around its vertical axis during the turn, expressed in units of radians per second or degrees per second. The angular velocity () in turning flight can also be expressed in terms of load factor () and gravity ():

where,

  • is the angular velocity (in radians per second),
  • is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s^2)
  • is the load factor,
  • is the true airspeed of the aircraft (in meters per second or feet per second).
