David Williams (asker) May 26, 2009:
Excellent, many thanks! For some strange reason, the ne wasn't subscripted in the German original, but I was sure it needed to be. This is for a general (non-technical) target readership though, as it is for a museum website, so lay text is probably wiser than too much technical jargon.
Bernd Runge May 26, 2009:
Hold it. David, you have a Kurvenlastvielfaches (g-load) of 4 to 5 G's when you start to enter a loop (a vertical curve), without any bank at all, just positive and negative pitch.<br>Banking is far away from being the correct answer. You can bank the aircraft unloaded, which is referred to as rolling.<br>And yes, V sub ne is a standard variable as V sub c ,etc. ne standing for never exceed. (Jesus!)<br>We are talking about engine, speed and G limitations here, which have direct impact on the aircraft's display performance.
Roy OConnor (X) May 26, 2009:
Re: Banking and Vne The term doesn't just involve banking, but curved flight generally. If you need a less specific term, then I would use g-loads as already suggested. "ne" should be suscripted and means "never exceed speed". This seems so suggest that a technical rather than lay text is required.

Note from asker:
Yes, thank you. Would "banking" suffice, in laymans terms? Also, should the "ne" in "Vne" be subscripted?
Peer comment(s):
neutral Bernd Runge : Your answer is an option but this is really a great link - have you read the complete thread about the vomit comit, etc. ;-)

You're right there, Bernd! I didn't realise aircraft had a turd and slip indicator!

German term (edited): Kurvenlastvielfachen

g-load

This is what we have used.
Kurve doesn't mean a horizontal curve, but refers to turning radius. The tighter the turn, the higher the g-load (with same indicated airspeed).
Peer comment(s):
neutral schnitzelplanet : g-load "multiple" wg. "vielfachen"...?
22 mins
A loaded turn is a turn with more than one g. "Load" implies a multiple of 1g (straight-and-level-flight).
