Are you saying that, because we don;t know the AoB, we cannot therefore assume that their rotational velocity is equivalent - because the air passing over the indicator would not be equally displaced with respect to each aircraft's flight path?
If so, then yes, you're right I suppose.
Rotational velocity is dependant on more that simply airspeed and turn radius.. it needs "ground speed", essentially - which is the "real" speed around the spatial unit that is the turn.
Can we make any assumptions about likely AoB? The graph indicates that the turn is level (horizontally in each case). Do we know what the AoB differential is likely to be for each aircraft in each case? (then we can work out the proportion of airspeed that is in the horizontal plane).
