Load factor (aeronautics) In aeronautics, the load factor is defined as the ratio of the lift of an aircraft to its weight and represents a global measure of the stress (load) to which the structure of the aircraft is subjected: where: Since the load factor is the ratio of two forces, it is dimensionless.
What is MASS BALANCE? A weight or mass attached ahead of the hinge line of an aircraft control surface to give static balance with no moment about the hinge, and to reduce to zero inertial coupling due to displacement of the control sur. REMOTE MASS-BALANCE WEIGHT.
