The '''turning diameter''' of a vehicle refers to the minimum [[diameter]] (or "width") of available space required for that vehicle to make a [[circle|circular]] turn (i.e. [[U-turn (maneuver)|U-turn]]). The term thus refers to a theoretical minimal circle in which for example an [[aeroplane]], a ground vehicle or a [[watercraft]] can be turned around.
