  2. Load factor (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_factor_(aeronautics)

    However, its units are traditionally referred to as g, because of the relation between load factor and apparent acceleration of gravity felt on board the aircraft. A load factor of one, or 1 g, represents conditions in straight and level flight, where the lift is equal to the weight.

  3. g-force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-force

    However, to distinguish acceleration relative to free fall from simple acceleration (rate of change of velocity), the unit g is often used. One g is the force per unit mass due to gravity at the Earth's surface and is the standard gravity (symbol: g n), defined as 9.806 65 metres per second squared, [5] or equivalently 9.806 65 newtons of force ...

  4. Wing loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_loading

    As stalling is due to wing loading and maximum lift coefficient at a given altitude and speed, this limits the turning radius due to maximum load factor. At Mach 0.85 and 0.7 lift coefficient, a wing loading of 50 lb/sq ft (240 kg/m 2 ) can reach a structural limit of 7.33 g up to 15,000 feet (4,600 m) and then decreases to 2.3 g at 40,000 feet ...

  5. Shock (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_(mechanics)

    Shock is a vector that has units of an acceleration (rate of change of velocity). The unit g (or g ) represents multiples of the standard acceleration of gravity and is conventionally used. A shock pulse can be characterised by its peak acceleration, the duration, and the shape of the shock pulse (half sine, triangular, trapezoidal, etc.).

  7. gc (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gc_(engineering)

    In unit systems where force is a derived unit, like in SI units, g c is equal to 1. In unit systems where force is a primary unit, like in imperial and US customary measurement systems, g c may or may not equal 1 depending on the units used, and value other than 1 may be required to obtain correct results. [2]

  8. Flight envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_envelope

    In aerodynamics, the flight envelope, service envelope, or performance envelope of an aircraft or spacecraft refers to the capabilities of a design in terms of airspeed and load factor or atmospheric density, often simplified to altitude. [1] [2] The term is somewhat loosely applied, and can also refer to other measurements such as maneuverability.
