Unlike a ship, an airplane does not use its rudder to turn. It turns by banking its wings: The lift force, perpendicular to the wings, has a horizontal component, which provides the centripetal acceleration for the turn, and a vertical component, which supports the plane’s weight. (The rudder counteracts yaw and thus it keeps the plane pointed in the direction it is moving.) The famous spy plane, the SR-71 Blackbird, flying at 4800 km/h, has a turning radius of 290. km. Find its banking angle.
