  2. Banked turn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banked_turn

    This formula also shows that the radius of turn decreases with the angle of bank. With a higher angle of bank the radius of turn is smaller, and with a lower angle of bank the radius is greater. In a banked turn at constant altitude, the load factor is equal to 1 cos ⁡ θ {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{\cos \theta }}} .

  3. Weinberg angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weinberg_angle

    The weak mixing angle or Weinberg angle [2] is a parameter in the Weinberg–Salam theory (by Steven Weinberg and Abdus Salam) of the electroweak interaction, part of the Standard Model of particle physics, and is usually denoted as θ W. It is the angle by which spontaneous symmetry breaking rotates the original W 0 and B 0

  4. Axes conventions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axes_conventions

    Heading, elevation and bank angles (Z-Y’-X’’) for an aircraft. The aircraft's pitch and yaw axes Y and Z are not shown, and its fixed reference frame xyz has been shifted backwards from its center of gravity (preserving angles) for clarity. Axes named according to the air norm DIN 9300

  6. Pylon turn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pylon_turn

    Wedell Williams Model 44 II Poster for the 1932 Thompson Trophy air race in Cleveland, USA. A pylon turn is a flight maneuver in which an aircraft banks into a circular turn, in such a way that an imaginary line projecting straight out the side of the aircraft (nominally the wing) points to a fixed point on the ground.

  7. Aircraft compass turns - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_compass_turns

    The rule of thumb using airspeed requires that the last digit of the airspeed be dropped then add five. For example, if the airspeed is 90 knots, the bank angle would be (9+5=) 14 degrees. For 122 knots, it would be (12+5=) 17 degrees. The line of latitude is the maximum lead or lag a compass will have.

  8. Steep turn (aviation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steep_turn_(aviation)

    A steep turn in aviation, performed by an aircraft (usually fixed wing), is a turn that involves a bank of more than 30 degrees. This means the angle created by the axis running along both wings and the horizon is more than 30 degrees. [1] [2] Generally, for training purposes, [3] steep turns are demonstrated and practiced at 45 degrees ...

  9. Flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_dynamics

    The equilibrium roll angle is known as wings level or zero bank angle, equivalent to a level heeling angle on a ship. Yaw is known as "heading". A fixed-wing aircraft increases or decreases the lift generated by the wings when it pitches nose up or down by increasing or decreasing the angle of attack (AOA). The roll angle is also known as bank ...
