Blended-wing Airliner
Bertie, the issue isn't the degree of bank, but rather how fast you
roll the airplane into the bank, that would make a px well off center
feel the gs Dave mentioned. For example, if you had Mx sitting on a
wing tip and you wanted to drop the wing out from under him, you'd
bank into that wing quickly. If you banked slowly he'd not feel
himself grow lighter, but if you did it sharply you near the center
line wouldn't feel much but you could yank that tip down at better
than 1 G even when going to a bank limit of 20 degrees. That was the
issue Dave addressed.
The question was, when you start to bank into a turn, how quickly do
you establish the bank angle? I'm guessing you go from wings level to
20 degrees in a slow count of 3 or 4 -- not too much acceleration --
but would appreciate a guesstimate from some who does it for a living.

It's likely the 1.4 gs, or even more the 0.6 gs on the inside seats,
would be objectional but that can be overcome by controlling the roll
banking into the turn. Maybe someone can refine your 20 degrees of
roll per second estimate and tell us what is typical in normal
operations of a large airplane. More importantly it would be
interesting to know if limiting the angular acceleration would have
important safety comprimises in normal operations.
Well, you can rol as quickly or slowly as ou like, just like any other
airplane. We typicall ylimit the bank to 25 deg,and thirty at the most,
where the g in a level turn is 1.15 Not much at all. Harldy more than you'd
experience when an elevator starts moving.
