Rate of Turn from turn radius Calculator

The rate of turn (ROT) from the turn radius in flight mechanics refers to the angular velocity at which an aircraft changes its heading while maintaining a constant altitude and airspeed. The formula indicates that the rate of turn is inversely proportional to the turn radius. In other words, smaller turn radii result in higher rates of turn, while larger turn radii result in lower rates of turn. The rate of turn (ROT) can be calculated using the following formula from the turn radius ($r$):

Where:

• $\text{ROT}$ is the rate of turn (in radians per second),
• $V$ is the true airspeed of the aircraft (in meters per second or feet per second), and
• $r$ is the turn radius (in meters or feet).
