The angular velocity of a pull-up maneuver is the rotational speed of the aircraft as it executes an upward pitch maneuver, typically measured in radians per second. It quantifies the rate at which the aircraft’s heading changes during the pull-up, influenced by factors such as the aircraft’s speed, load factor, and rate of climb.
The formula to calculate the angular velocity of a pull-up maneuver is:
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 (dimensionless)
- is the true airspeed of the aircraft (in meters per second or feet per second).
