Question : 30
Total: 40
An aircraft executes a horizontal loop at a speed of 720 km h– 1 with its wings banked at 15°. What is the radius of the loop?
Solution:
Speed of aircraft, v = 720 k m h − 1
= 720 ×
= 200 m s − 1
angle of banking,θ = 15 ° , radius of the loop = r = ?
tan θ =
or r =
=
=
= 14.9 × 10 3 m = 15 k m
angle of banking,
