In flight mechanics, the load factor (n) is a measure of the force experienced by an aircraft or any object relative to its weight. It is expressed as a ratio and represents the ratio of the total aerodynamic force (lift) acting on the aircraft to its weight. Load factor is a fundamental concept used in aircraft design, performance analysis, and flight dynamics.
ρ = Air density V = Airspeed (velocity) of the aircraft T = Thrust of the aircraft, K = Correction factor for non-level steady flight W/S = Wing loading (aircraft weight divided by wing area),Ta=thrust available,CD0=Zero lift drag coefficient
