Mr John Farmer you had better check with Mr Reheat before you risk your new cushy position here with your new compadres.
Idiot! The first is a banking angle formula that P4T used and I am deferring to Reheat (aeronautical type) to discuss it. What you don't seem to grasp is that there are aerodynamic issues, and then there are strictly Newtonian physics issues. Forces acting on a body (whether it is a plane, a ball, a car, or a person) are independent of the body acted upon. Gravity pulls on ANY body with the same acceleration (the mass is different, which impacts the force). For every force applied, an equal and opposite force must be applied in order for the vertical net force to equal zero. In the case of a car, the ground exerts this force, in the case of a plane, aerodynamic lift is applied. So the mode of applying the force may differ and have unique characteristics (such as stall, etc) which aeronautical types need to address. However, the force it generates to overcome the force of gravity is a whole different commodity and is governed by Newtonian physics.
You guys really don't have a clue what you are talking about do you?
