What happens to load factor as you decrease turn radius?
- It increases.
- It decreases.
- It stays constant.
Explanation
A tighter turn requires a steeper bank, which increases the load factor because lift must rise to provide both weight support and the larger centripetal force. As turn radius decreases the bank angle and therefore the load factor climb sharply, raising structural loading and the stalling speed.
