- aerosandbox.library.regulations.far_part_23.limit_load_factors(design_mass_TOGW, category='normal')[source]#
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”
- Parameters:
design_mass_TOGW (float) – The design takeoff gross weight of the aircraft [kg].
category (str) –
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.
- Return type:
Tuple[float, float]
