Turning Performance (Bank Angle) Calculator
Formula:-
radius = speed2 / (gravity x tangent (bank angle))
time = 2 x PI x speed / (gravity x tangent (bank angle))
where: speed=feet per second (fps = mph x 1.47), mph to fps conversion is done for you on form below
gravity =32.2 fps
SPEED MPH : 269.4 mph.
BANK ANGLE: 24.9°
Turn Size :
RADIUS: 10498.7 feet. (3200.0037 meters, 3.2 KM)
DIAMETER: 20997.4 feet. (6400.0075 meters; 6.4 KM)
TIME FOR 360 DEG TURN IN SECONDS: 167 seconds.
IN MINUTES: 2.78 minutes.

That's clearly a worthless post, identical to many more before. You have never offered any explanation at all.
I am waiting.

Here you go again... There are several errors, but I stopped at the Turn Radius. Your turn radius is GROSSLY WRONG. It's not even close. No need to go further than that....
You need to pursue another hobby, you're not very good at this one...

Also, your arc. That would mean the plane was in a right wing down left wing up bank. Yet, Mr. Hemphill stated the plane flew over his position with a left wing down right wing up bank. How can a plane be turning to the right if it has its wings banked left? it is no fighter jet either.
You can call it cherry picking, I call it asking questions of a witness and listening to the answers.
Here is part of the transcript of Craig's call with Hemphill taken from
www.citizeninvestigationteam.com...
Ranke: are you saying he was off to the side of the Navy Annex, or ...
Hemphill: yeah, he would have been over my right shoulder
Ranke: but you saw the fuselage appear, was it directly over the top of the Navy Annex or ...
Hemphill: right over the top
So Hemphill believes the plane flew right over the top of the Navy Annex - over his right shoulder because his office was towards the north end of the Annex.
Ranke: when you saw it pass the gas station, which side of the gas station was it on, was it on the Arlington Cemetery or north side or else perhaps the south side, the other side?
Hemphill: you know it's hard to say, it looked like it went right over the top .....
Ranke: would you say, if you had to say it was leaning towards one side or the other of the gas station, perhaps a portion of the plane, did it look directly over the top or what do you think?
Hemphill: yeah, I'd say more towards the cemetery side.
You can listen to the interview again - Hemphill has no problem recalling the gas station and believes it went pretty much straight over the top of the gas station, slightly to the Arlington Cemetery side of the gas station. This isn't cherry picking, this is his evidence and it corroborates the witnesses at the gas station, the witnesses at in the Arlington Cemetery maintenance buildings car park and Sean Boger at the Pentagon. Given the line of sight that Hemphill had, if the plane flew on the "official path" there is no way he would mistakenly believe that it flew over the gas station. He also would not mistakenly believe that it flew over the Navy Annex.

Ok, so if it was NoC, then when did the secret stealth agents run out and knock over the lamp posts, damage the taxi, and plant the eyewitnesses that said they saw the plane clip lamp posts, and then repair the interior of the Pentagon and rearrange it to line up with the SoC line?
Remember, this all had to be done in front of hundreds of gawkers on the highways and byways, and let us not forget the folks in traffic, first responders and the newscrews.
I'm sure you will find a good excuse for that.edit on 6/7/2012 by GenRadek because: edit to add

Speaking of worthless..... All of your garbage is a prime example. You're pretending to be an expert, yet you don't have a clue about what you're doing. I have told you REPEATEDLY from the very beginning that your turn radius is not correct. You have repeatedly argued as if you knew better. You also don't know how to make a turn fit within a properly calculated turn radius.
You have incessantly refused to follow Morin's description of what he saw, but instead tried to make your (it's actually not yours it CIT crap) path fit with your concocted delusion so that it all fits..
You next error is the stall speed of a B-757. If you can't get a fixed number correct how in the hades can you come up with all of this concocted BS and expect anyone to accept anything you say.
Go find another hobby, you suck at this one...
Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
Heres all the info I've got....Takeoff (rotation) speed at a weight of 108, 305kg is 140 knots (160 MPH) (V1 is at 130 Knots). Landing speed is 160 Knots Indicated air speed to give plenty of speed in event of go around.. Rate of climb, the aircraft usually performs in the region of 1,200 Feet per minute (FPM) to a 2,500 FPM. Stall speed with the aircraft 'dirty' so all flaps and undercarrige out is 107 Knots. Pilots tend to fly 30% greater than the stall speed so minum 140Knots at landing.
'Clean' stall speed (no flaps or undercarrige) is in the region of 150 Knots.

And I have repeatedly told you to prove with solid calculations, as I did, why you are so sure that my turn radius is not correct. I just proved you utterly wrong on that subject.

Please explain also this snidely remark of you :
""You also don't know how to make a turn fit within a properly calculated turn radius.""
So I can counter just as well your eventual arguments.

Terry Morin's last phone interview made it totally clear, he stood 10 feet within the space between the 4th and 5th wing of the Navy Annex. Do your best to prove me wrong, we can hear him tell us the exact spot where he saw the plane when looking up. Stop repeating this kind of untruest dis-info.

Well, than you are the deluded one, since I got the stall speed of a Boeing 757-200 from a post by ProudBird, who actually flew these exact birds. He will know these kind of important flight data by heart, don't you think so?

Yea, your turn radius is about % 40 too large.
--- This is an easy turn calculator to use once the required turn radius is determined or alternatively a turn radius can be derived by plugging in proposed numbers. This calculator may also be used to check the numbers in the chart.
Others are encouraged to post this work on other web sites or link to the pages. In addition, anyone qualified to do so is free to examine this work. I claim no copyright to the material. ---
Some time ago one of the authors, Warren Stutt, who independently received a copy of the FDR file as a result of his FOIA request, discovered more data at the end of the file which had not previously been decoded. He recently managed to decode the last frame and has made the information freely available.13 The file contains a vast amount of data, including the following essential information: the vertical acceleration every eighth of a second; longitudinal acceleration, roll angle and pitch every quarter of a second; air speed, ground speed, pressure altitude, radio height, heading and position every second; all finishing at points within the last second. The last time stated in the file is 9:37:49, which is in the 4th last subframe. Three more subframes were recorded, one second each, bringing the time of the last recording to 9:37:52, 6 or 8 seconds later than the two official times of impact. We do not assert that this accurately represents the time of impact as the clock in the aircraft may have been incorrect.
Reheat : There is no need to argue anything about this any further. He can't get past the LARGE bank angle REQUIRED to make the turn no matter how hard he tries. It's a dead issue before he even gets past the CITGO...
LaBTop : I was trying to find a speed to feed your own linked online calculator with, the one from your signature link, a speed at which the bank angle is so small, that it would not trigger the aw-effect I know now, that would have occurred, when flown with a 40° or more, bank angle.
The 200 KTS speed I found after many tries, with a turn diameter of 3.3 miles (which means a turn RADIUS of 2.7 kilometer, as shown in my earlier post and in my viable arc drawing), has a very slight right bank angle of 22°.
And an initial speed of 200 KTS (230.200 MPH) which is a 34 KTS surplus in speed above its known stall speed of 160 KTS (184.160 MPH).
That 22° bank angle is for any observing lay-men, a near level flight.
