Title: Optimal Cornering speed chart?
Post by: Max on May 30, 2004, 07:57:10 AM

Somewhere along the way I recall seeing a chart listing optimal cornering speeds for all AH AC. Anyone have the link?

Thanks & /O to all Veterans!

I don't have a chart for you but....

grab a plane, climb 10k, start a diving spiral, pull until you have the smallest blackout circle, decrease steepness of diving turn until u find the slowest speed you can hold the smallest blackout circle.  This is the planes corner speed.

~OR assume 250 kts and you won't be far off in any plane.

I think you are referring to Energy Management Charts. There are several threads on them here, do a search for member name Badboy and you'll find the great work he's done creating them.

However be aware that with AH2 the flight models of many planes are being changed and these charts will no longer be accurate. Lord knows if we'll be able to convince someone to start making them from scratch again. Certainly no one will until AH2 is set in stone.
