Radius of turn in the Turning Flight Calculator

The radius of turn in the Turning Flight Calculator represents the distance from the center of the turn to the point where the aircraft completes a full turn while executing a coordinated turn. It is a measure of the curvature of the flight path during the maneuver. The formula to calculate radius of turn ($R$) in turning flight.

Where:

• $R$ is the radius of turn (in meters or feet),
• $V$ is the true airspeed of the aircraft (in meters per second or feet per second),
• $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s^2),
• $n$ is the load factor.
