Angular velocity refers to the rate of change of the orientation of an aircraft or a spacecraft with respect to time. It is a crucial concept in understanding the rotational motion of vehicles in flight
- ω: Angular velocity, measured in radians per second (rad/s).
- n: Load factor or the ratio of the actual lift force to the aircraft’s weight (n = Lift / Weight). It’s a measure of the forces experienced by the aircraft during flight maneuvers.
- g: Acceleration due to gravity, approximately 9.81 m/s² on the surface of the Earth.
- V: True airspeed of the aircraft, measured in meters per second (m/s).
