Question

The pilot of the fighter jet turns by banking the wings such that the lift of the wings has a component in
the direction of the centre of the turn. The pilot wishes to turn the jet in a tight radius of 960.0 m while
maintaining a constant circular speed of 1440 km/h. Determine the angle of bank needed, measured from
the vertical. Show all your work
Angle T from vertical
Lift on wings = L
L cos T = m g
L sin T = m v^2/R
so
tan T= (v^2/R)/g
doesnt help
