text: If the airplane were to hold the same angle of 
  bank at 500 knots (TAS), 
  the turn radius 
  would quadruple (r=22,200 ft.) and the turn 
  rate would be one-half the original value 
  (ROT=2.19 deg. per sec.). 
  
  Values of turn radius and turn rate versus 
  velocity are shown in figure 2.29 for various 
  angles of bank and the corresponding load 
  factors. The conditions are for 
  the steady, 
  coordinated turn at constant altitude but the 
  results are applicable for climbing or descend- 
  ing flight when the angle of climb or descent 
  is relatively small. While the effect of alti- 
  tude on turning performance is not immediately 
  apparent from these curves, the principal effect 
  must be appreciated as an increased true air- 
  speed (TAX) 
  for a given equivalent airspeed 
  (EAS). 
  
  TACTICAL PERFORMANCE. Many tac- 
  tical maneuvers require the use of the maxi- 
  mum turning capability of the airplane. The 
  maximum turning capability of an airplane will 
  be defined by three factors: 
  
  (1) Maximum lift capability. The combi- 
  nation of maximum lift coefIicient, C,,=, 
  loading, W/S, will 
  and wing 
  define the 
  ability of 
  the airplane to develop aero- 
  dynamically the load factors of maneuvering 
  flight.
