| If a sUAS weighs 33lbs and is banking at 30 degree angle, what weight will the structure need to support? |
|
Definition
(You will be given a chart to answer this question)
The Y-Axis will display the bank angles, and the X-Axis will give us the load factor
In this case 30 degree bank is a load factor of 1.1
Therefore 33lbs * 1.1 = 36.3lbs
The structure will need to support 36.3 pounds |
