What is Banking?

Banking is defined as the phenomenon in which the edges are raised for the curved roads above the
inner edge to provide the necessary centripetal force to the vehicles so that they take a safe turn. The
angle at which the vehicle is inclined is defined as the bank angle.

An aircraft banking:

An aircraft flying horizontally experiences a lift force L, which balances the weight W of the aircraft. In
order for the aircraft to turn, it tilts its wings at an angle θ to the vertical. As the aircraft banks, the
horizontal component of the lift, Lsinθ provides the necessary centripetal force the make the aircraft
turn.
