5.6 Limits – Load and Speeds
Limit load is defined as the maximum load that an aircraft can be subjected to in its life cycle. Under the limit load, any deformation recovers to its original shape and would not affect structural integrity. Structural performance is defined in terms of stiffness and strength. Stiffness is related to flexibility and deformations and has implications for aeroelasticity and flutter. Strength concerns the loads that an aircraft structure is capable of carrying and is addressed within the context of the V-n diagram.
To ensure safety, a margin (factor) of 50% increase (civil aviation) is enforced through regulations as a factor of safety to extend the limit load to the ultimate load. A flight load exceeding the limit load but within the ultimate load should not cause structural failure but could affect integrity with permanent deformation. Aircraft are equipped with g-meters to monitor the load factor – the n for each sortie – and, if exceeded, the airframe must be inspected at prescribed areas and maintained by prescribed schedules that may require replacement of structural components. For example, an aerobatic aircraft with a 6-g-limit load will have an ultimate load of 9 g. If an in-flight load exceeds 6 g (but is below 9 g), the aircraft may experience permanent deformation but should not experience structural failure. Above 9 g, the aircraft would most likely experience structural failure.
The factor of safety also covers inconsistencies in material properties and manufacturing deviations. However, aerodynamicists and stress engineers should calculate for load and component dimensions such that their errors do not erode the factor of safety. Geometric margins, for example, should be defined such that they add positively to the factor of safety.
ultimate load = factor of safety × limit load
For civil aircraft applications, the factor of safety equals 1.5 (FAR 23 and FAR 25, Vol. 3).

5.6.1 Maximum Limit of Load Factor
This is the required maneuver load factor at all speeds up to VC. (The next section defines speed limits.) Maximum elevator deflection at VA and pitch rates from VA to VD also must be considered. Table 5.1 gives the g-limit of various aircraft classes.
For military aircraft applications, in general, the factor of safety equals 1.5 but can be modified through negotiation (see Military Specifications MIL-A-8860, MIL- A-8861, and MIL-A-8870).
Typical g-levels for various types of aircraft are shown in Table 5.2. These limits are based on typical human capabilities.
5.6.2 Speed Limits
The V-n diagram (see Figure 5.2) described in Section 5.7 uses various speed limits, defined as follows:
VS: |
Stalling speed at normal level flight. |
VA: |
Stalling speed at limit load. In a pitch maneuver, an aircraft stalls |
|
at a higher speed than the VS. In an accelerated maneuver of pitch- |
|
ing up, the angle of attack, α, decreases and therefore stalls at higher |
|
speeds. The tighter the maneuver, the higher is the stalling speed until it |
|
reaches VA. |
VB: |
Stalling speed at maximum gust velocity. It is the design speed for maxi- |
|
mum gust intensity VB and is higher than VA. |
VC: |
Maximum level speed. |
VD: |
Maximum permissible speed (occurs in a dive; also called the placard |
|
speed). |
An aircraft can fly below the stall speed if it is in a maneuver that compensates loss of lift or if the aircraft attitude is below the maximum angle of attack, αmax, for stalling.
