If a sUAS weighs 33lbs and is banking at 30 degree angle, what weight will the structure need to support?
Definition

(You will be given a chart to answer this question)

 

The Y-Axis will display the bank angles, and the X-Axis will give us the load factor

 

In this case 30 degree bank is a load factor of 1.1

 

Therefore 33lbs * 1.1 = 36.3lbs

 

The structure will need to support 36.3 pounds

Term
