V-N DIAGRAM The v-n Diagram limits the various external loads that any airplane can withstand at any particular velocity. i.e the graph plotted between the load factor versus velocity is known as v-n diagram. Generally the airplane experiences much higher loads than the design values. Hence a safety factor is used in the structural design.

DETERMINATION OF LOAD FACTOR: Load factor is the ratio of the lift on an aircraft to the weight of the aircraft. The load factor is expressed in multiples of g where one g represents conditions in straight and level flight. In straight and level flight the lift is equal to the weight so the ratio of lift to weight is one, and the load factor is one g. Load factors greater than one, and less than one, are achieved by maneuvering of the aircraft by the pilot, and by atmospheric gusts. Excessive load factor must be avoided because of the possibility of exceeding the structural strength of the aircraft. The maximum load factors for different classes of airplane are typically:

In airline airplanes, from -1g to +2.5g In light airplanes, from -1.5g to +3.8g In acrobatic airplanes, from -3g to +6g

When the load factor is +1g, all occupants of the aircraft feel that their weight is normal. When the load factor is greater than +1g all occupants feel heavier than usual. For example, in a +2g maneuver all occupants feel that their weight is twice normal. When the load factor is zero, or very small, all occupants feel weightless. When the load factor is negative, all occupants feel they are upside down.
