Aviation Load Factor Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Load Factor.
LF = L / W
Variables:
- LF is the Load Factor ( )
- L is the total aircraft lift (N)
- W is the total aircraft weight (N)
How to Calculate Aviation Load Factor?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Load Factor.
- First, determine the total aircraft lift (N).
- Next, determine the total aircraft weight (N).
- Next, gather the formula from above = LF = L / W.
- Finally, calculate the Load Factor.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
total aircraft lift (N) = 5000
total aircraft weight 9N) = 3000
LF = L / W = ?
