The Standard Rate turn for jets is HALF of that of small airplanes.

I.E. 4 minutes to complete 360 degrees or 1.5 degrees per second, as opposed
to 2 minutes to complete 360 degrees, or 3 degrees per second.

Can anybody here tall me what the standard rate of turn is in a 757? Is it
the
same as small palnes, i.ei, is it universal at 360 degrees in 2 minutes?

I've got someone telling me the Boeing 757 that hit the Pentagon did some
impossible turn before flying into the building, and it sounds like a
turnign
decent to me.

Any help would be appreciated.
