Notes: |
K7 L/D = 26:1 |
|
|
Load factor is 1/cos
|phi| |
|
|
Multiplier is 1/sqrt(cos
|phi|) |
|
|
Vs is stall speed;
Vs(0)*(multiplier) |
|
|
Vbest is best L/D;
Vbest(0)*(multiplier) |
|
|
Vsink(0) is
Vbest(0)/(L/D) |
|
|
Vsink is Vsink(0)*(load
factor)*(multiplier) |
|
|
Radius is V^2/g tan
|phi|, where g=32.17 ft/s^2 |
|
|
T_3_6_0 is time for a
360^o turn and equals 2|pi|r/V(|phi|) |
|
|
descent is Vsink'*T_3_6_0 |
|
|
1 mph = 1.467 ft/s; 1
ft/sec = 0.3048 m/s |
