I want to deduce the rate of turn of targets that move in a uniform circular motion. The radius of the different circles are known in advance. I have searched for my question and found the following formulas to help me: $$R=\frac{V^2}{11.26\tan\theta}$$

$$\omega=\frac{1,091\tan\theta}{V}$$

The variables used are:

• $V$ = true airspeed in knots
• $R$ = turning radius in feet
• $\theta$ = bank angle in degrees
• $\omega$ = rate of turn in degrees per second

As we see from the previous equations that we can get the velocity from the first equation and then substitute in the second one to get the rate of turn. But the problem in the bank angle, how can one put a reasonable values for this angle on different radius. Of course the targets that rotates in circles with small radius will different from that moves in a large radius each one will have its own reasonable bank angle and hence its own speed that it will fly with and hence its own rate of rotation.

Note:

all that because i am trying to sample the plane movement over different circles each T (secs). So i want the rate of rotation to be reasonable to be able to get enough samples to represent that movement. Also i have read that the civilian planes is different from the military ones, so it seems to be complicated topic. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
