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:

$Where:$

• C_L​ is the lift coefficient,
• $W$ is the weight in N,
• $\omega$ is the Turn Rate in rad/s,
• $g$ is the  gravity in m/s,
• ρ_∞​ is the air density in kg/m³,
• $n$ is a load factor, and
• $S$ is the Wing area in m².
