In a turn, a portion of the lift produced by the wings must be used to accelerate the aircraft laterally, and this portion of the lift is no longer available to maintain the aircraft's altitude. Thus, without any adjustment of pitch or power to compensate, any turn will result in a loss of altitude. All pilots know this and assume that a "turn" includes compensation, unless they specifically say "descending" or "climbing". So when you keep saying "a turn will always descend", you just confuse your readers... especially the ones who don't follow threads closely. You're in a pilot newsgroup, which means the prevailing terminology is that of pilots, not necessarily engineers, civilians, or whomever. Kev |
