But G-load and weight is the same thing as long as aircraft shape is the same? if one drop 50% of aircraft charge on a 2G turn while keeping same shape aircraft it will stall at same “TAS” speed as straight & level with initial weight for same air density
Or you think the way how initial weight impacts straight and level stall speeed differs to how load factor will impact stall speed in a turn? (ignoring IAS, CAS EAS corrections and considerations and any change in aircraft geometry)
If you drop 50% of the aircraft mass in a turn, the resulting stall speed is depending on the new CG of the plane and not automatically the “straight and level” stall speed of the plane with the weight.
To summarize that:
- The straight&level stall speed is not only depending on the weight but also on CG and other things.
- The increase factor of stall speed due to dynamic wing loading is proportional to the square root of loading if (and only if) CG (and some other factors) remain unchanged.

OK got it !
