Load factor due to turning flight nz = 1.00 (1/COS Θ angle of bank)

Sea level air density ρ = 1.225 kg/m³

Wing area S = 1.39 m²

1g wing loading = 39.57 kg/m²
Turning flight (factored) wing loading = 39.72 kg/m²

Wing section's maximum coefficient of lift CLMAX = 1.2 * * Based on an infinate span win

Flaps down section's CLMAX = 1.8 *

Flap span = 4 % of wing span
