Yes they do and the formula's are all standard BGS for calculating aircraft performance.

They are same ones found in Perkins & Hage, Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators, Flight Mechanics, and Flight Theory and Aerodynamics.

You can argue with the authors of these books....

The formulas are correct and the performance agrees with generic turn performance charts used in aircraft flight planning.

Input the correct parameters for wing area, power, aspect ratio, CLmax, and the formulas produce the results.

It is that simple.
