what do climbing turns tend to do in a aircraft?

Answer 1

Nothing abnormal... Climbing turns are made in every flight, most likely after takeoff. Climb and turn are two independent situations and can be observed separately. When an aircraft is in non accelerating climb, speed is constant (for a specific altitude range), but lower than when in level flight. In a turn (with the same power settings) an aircraft will loose airspeed due to the turn acceleration. So the result of a climbing turn is the sum of the loss of airspeed due to the climb and the turn. It requires more power or results in less airspeed than a level turn or a straight climb. The loading (stress) in a non accelerating climbing turn is the same as the loading in the level turn. Nothing unusual in climbing turns.

Answer 2

When doing a climbing turn, you are attempting to change direction and gain height at the same time. The aircraft is subject to increased stress on airframe due to the turn. Also, as the speed reduces while climbing, you need to wath the ASI very carefully and adjust the pitch to maintain airspeed, as a stall while in aturn can have very nasty results, including a spin!

Answer 3

They tend to change the aircrafts heading while the aircraft climbs.

Answer 4

climbing turns are the most effective way to gain maximum altitude over the smallest chunk of ground. It is a normal part of flying. When you get in an airliner, they take off and begin a climbing turn very soon afterwards unless they just happen to be heading the exact direction that they took off in. It's not spectacular, or even mildly uncomfortable for the occupants, it is a very normal and mundane manoeuvre.

Answer 5

It depends on your bank angle, pitch angle, angle-of-attack, power setting and your current airspeed. If you are doing a climbing turn below or at "V2", you could be asking for serious trouble. And if you are doing it with your IAS needle at or beyond the IAS "barber pole" needle, you are really asking for trouble.

Like I said, it depends on the above parameters...then you'll know what it does in an aircraft. Try it on a FlightSim (like Microsoft's or X-Plane's).

Answer 6

To keep positive Ratye of Climb along with turning on desired heading to intercept the desired course. These are normally done just after take of to intercept the desired heading to the next check point.

Answer 7

slows down the forward speed of the aircraft

Answer 8

Slows the plane somewhat and applies a modicum of further pressure on the whole airframe and wings.

Answer 9

Your not in an aircraft at the moment are you?

Answer 10

ascending 360 degrees. Positive G force. bad environment for pukers.
