A banked turn refers to a maneuver in which an object, often a vehicle like an airplane, car, or bicycle, is tilted or angled in a way that allows it to navigate a curve more effectively. The banking of the turn helps counteract the lateral forces acting upon the object and enables smoother and safer turning. In aviation, for example, when an airplane makes a turn, it banks towards the inside of the turn.
