Question:
I'm trying to model characteristics of various aircraft for a WWII air combat game, and need to know how turns affect speed for various aircraft profiles; ex, light aircraft like the Japanese ki-27 Nate or Zero vs heavier aircraft like the F4F Wildcat or P-40 Warhawk. Thanks.

Longest passenger flights and what aircraft are flying them?
when an aircraft turns it loses lift, and so it requires more lift (created by pitching up) this pitch up motion creates more drag and changes the angle of attack which in effect reduces airspeed. The steeper the bank, the more loss of lift, the more loss of airspeed.How often do they change the tires on a jet airliner?
Weight is a factor only to the point where the aircraft will require more lift to counteract the force of weight, but weight will not be added while in a turn. However that begins to get into G's so I'lls top there.
Good luck.
What are the equipments found in an airport that I should put in my design?
it's all about drag :)where can i get commercial pilot training cheapest & within a shortest period.?
Check 'Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators'.i am bought an austin allegro for £10 was this a bargain?
Co-ordination of the aircraft with the control surfaces.When you are flying straight and level there is little to disturb the air over the surfaces.
When you turn a number of things happen,
More lift is created on the up going wing
More drag is created as the aileron disturbs the airflow
The rudder is required to co-ordinate the turn.
The rudder creates drag.
The pilot must pull back on the yoke to give a little elevator.
This causes drag.
If the three are done correctly with each other the plane will turn in a co-ordinated fashion, however there is drag created from the movement of the control surfaces.
A little extra power is needed to maintain the aircraft speed.
The more bank you have, the more "centripetal" force is required to keep the aircraft in a level turn. This in turn creates drag.
As an aircraft turns the forces acting on the lifting surfaces change, ever so slightly, but they do. Extra power is always a good idea depending on the rate of turn you want.
I believe the Zero to be a lighter craft which will give it more speed but the heavier Wildcat or Warhawk should have better manoeuvrability.
Hope I helped.
how possable is a skycat airship? when could one be built?
Short and simple:Angle of bank: more bank angle, the more speed you'll lose through the turn.
Whats a good plane under 80k that looks like a P51 style?
Pitch attitude: The higher the nose is off the horizon, the faster you'll lose speed. Similarly, the lower the nose is off the horizon, the slower you'll lose speed. You may even accelerate.
Throttle setting. Self explanatory.
Is a CDI (course deviation indicator) and an ADF (automatic direction finder) the same thing?
Configuration. An aircraft with landing gear, flaps or speed brake deployed will lose speed faster than one that's "clean"
Alaskan Aircraft on saturday whats up with that?
All of those variables acting together will determine how fast or slowly an aircraft loses speed through a turn.
It's all about lift and drag.
How often must I retrain to keep my Red Wings and Inverted Brown Wings current?
Lift can be broken down into three categories:
1. Vertical Lift
2. Horizontal Lift
3. and Total lift
Does Bernoulli's principle really explain airplane lift?
In straight and level flight all of the lift you are producing is Vertical lift. Vertical Lift = Total Lift.
Where is the cheapest flight training in the world?
When you bank your total lift is now divided into a vertical component and a horizontal component. The vertical component opposes the weight of the aircraft and the horizontal component is what turns the aircraft. The initial tendency of the aircraft when entering a bank is to descend, because some of the vertical lift has been converted into horizontal. We now must pull back on the yoke/stick to maintain altitude. This increases the total amount of lift, it increases the angle of attack, and it increases the induced drag. .............The key here is "induced drag" which we all know is a by-product of lift.
