Abstract

The maximum allowable turning speed of an aircraft is a critical factor affecting the safety of civil aviation. Evaluating the maximum permissible taxiing turn speed for civil aircraft is an essential aspect of aircraft design. To ensure that the aircraft does not experience unbalanced forces leading to a lateral rollover due to excessive taxiing speed, an engineering estimation method is employed to study the maximum permissible taxiing turn speed for civil aircraft. This method begins with certain assumptions and calculation scenarios, followed by the derivation of a calculation model based on the analysis of aircraft forces. Lastly, a case study of a specific aircraft’s maximum taxiing turn speed is conducted in conjunction with practical engineering considerations. The study reveals that as crosswind forces on civil aircraft increase, the maximum turning speed decreases. Moreover, for lighter aircraft with a forward center of gravity, the risk of lateral rollovers is higher. These findings underscore the engineering applicability of the estimation method.
