East River turning radius
Ah... Well... I just through some random numbers in there... Of course, one
would not try and pull a 57G turn as cool as it sounds... Thanks for the lesson! I learned something new today... The calculator is correct by my reckoning. 80mph and 89 degree bank gives 8 ft radius turning circle which is correct in theory. it sounds ridiculous but really the 89 degree angle of bank is what is ridiculous . such a turn if possible would pull 57 g. the calculation is not that difficult. radius= v squared / g tan ( bank angle) terry -- Mike Flyin'8 PP-ASEL Temecula, CA http://flying.4alexanders.com
