Although John Bell correctly provides the technical calcs to figure the
angle of bank for standard rate turns, the point is the radius [and ultimately, the rate] of the turn is based on the airspeed, not the size of the aircraft. If an airplane needs to tighten the turn radius without increasing the bank angle, it can be done by decreasing speed and/or descending.
