Calculate Aircraft Turn Radius (ATr)



Formula

The formula to calculate the Aircraft Turn Radius is:

\[ ATr = \frac{V^2}{11.26 \cdot \tan(b)} \]

What is an Aircraft Turn Radius?

An aircraft turn radius is the approximate radius that an aircraft would turn at given a velocity and bank angle. It is a crucial parameter in aviation to ensure safe and efficient maneuvering of the aircraft.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Aircraft Turn Radius:

\[ ATr = \frac{250^2}{11.26 \cdot \tan(30)} \approx 9614 \text{ ft} \]

The Aircraft Turn Radius (ATr) is approximately 9614 ft.
