.. py:function:: limit_load_factors(design_mass_TOGW, category = 'normal')

   Computes the required limit load factors for FAR Part 23 certification.

   From FAR Part 23: "Airworthiness Standards: Normal, Utility, Acrobatic, and Commuter Category Airplanes"
   Section 23.337: "Limit maneuvering load factors"

   :param design_mass_TOGW: The design takeoff gross weight of the aircraft [kg].
   :param category: The category of the aircraft. Valid values are:

                    - "normal"
                    - "utility"
                    - "acrobatic"
                    - "commuter"

   :returns: A tuple with (positive load factor, negative load factor). These are the maximum positive and negative limit load
             factors that the aircraft should withstand for Part 23 certification.
