VG Diagram: Made Easy!

[@danstern3452]

you honestly helped me understand the Vg diagram better than anyone could. you did very good! thank you.

[@ib311]

This really helped me understand the Vg diagram. Thanks!

My aerodynamics teacher used this video to explain how to make a V-G diagram, I referenced the video later for a project and it helped so much. Thank you!

[@augustlim3120]

Ate icecream while watching this and completely broke down the overwhelming look of the diagram. Loved how it began blank and was built on with explanations, thank you!

[@TheOchoCinco]

Amazing. Hands down.

[@WWG1-WGA]

YOU ARE AMAZING ! . I’m automation engineer, no working in that 5 years ago and now I have my goal for next year go to flying school.... I don’t know nothing a just love it forever BUT YOU explain something that makes all senses. Very literal explanation ❤️👨‍✈️✈️

[@paulmarsland2911]

Excellent, very clear explanation- thank you!

[@nathanwhitechurch3769]

Thanks for the calculations!

[@AeroNerd]

You bet!

[@jetenginestar]

Very easy and intuitive, Thanks

[@mr.whatever1188]

Makes perfect sense thanks

Why did you use the gs that belongs to the Utility Category and not from the Normal Category?

[@AeroNerd]

Great question! I used the utility category because normally when instructing there are just 2 people in the airplane. Even with fully loaded with fuel, unwell still be in the Utility category. Normal category (checkout POH chapter 6), you have to be pretty heavy and have a lot of cargo for the CG to move that far back past the utility box. Thanks for the question!

[@Tranefine]

Very well explained, but I guess for engineering purposes, where you have to apply regulations such as CS-23 or CS-25, those formulas are barely applicable. But it certainly gives a good basic concept about the V/n manoeuvring diagram!

[@Cosme422]

wow… thank you

For more in depth and fascinating look at the V-g diagram go to Martin Pauly's channel and watch "The V-g Diagram , or: The Wing Removal Lever" with airshow pilot/DPE Doug Rozendaal.

Actually G is for gust factor in regard to the VG diagram. One of the primary goals the VG diagram seeks to demonstrate is the effect of a 15 or 25 knot gust on load factor. Worrying about calculating the square of airspeed to calculate load factor is easier if you just remember that the load factor can be an easy multiplier. If you double your speed (x2) the wings will lift four times as much (x4) For example, if your 1g stall speed is 50kts, and you double your airspeed to 100kts the load factor would be 4g (2x2=4) If you triple your airspeed from 50 to 150, your load factor would be 9g (3x3=9). There’s lots of data available in a VG diagram, but its core mission is to provide load factor based on Velocity and Gust, thus the name VG. Nice goggles…..

[@dannyCOTW]

Hey Shawn, I think that this video is correct in labeling G as acceleration in this case. On this diagram a gust would be an increase in Velocity (airspeed). Possibly there is another similar diagram for gusts?
