Hi Stuart, Sorry if you think I am trolling. Trolls do not admit when they are wrong. I was grateful for being given the opportunity to be wrong...
What you could have said is as follows. "'You said that Va was limited by the max force the wings could cope with. If that was true, Va woul...
Regarding your most recent post, you said the followingt: "'Said it before, say it again, the amount of force the wings can cope with does not exp...
Thank you for your ongoing interest. You suggested that I was being silly going on about things that were not relevant to the discussion. The original...
And that is how come it is misleading to say that Va is there to protect the wings. In case anyone is interested, I will give a different example....
Now, just to clarify. If the aircraft is at max gross and Va, and you pull back and pull 3.8 g, the main spar has a particular amount of force on it. ...
That's what I meant, but didn't say.
Here are two other points, I believe are relevant. 1) Respect for one's betters can be viewed as one cause of the Tenerife disaster. It's bad CRM ...
I meant inertia, rather than momentum. I spend 99.9% of my time trying to memorise Bob's books and 0.1% of my time trying to pick holes in them. B...
It seems there are layers of definitions. Is there a standard Australian reference for wrote definitions that CASA use, and examiners are expected to ...
Page 15 says that "landing configuration" is gear down and full flaps! Ouch! Since you're an engineer, what is your take on the Va question? I rec...
Great reply. So, gradient wind is due to the Coriolis effect, and surface wind is due to the gradient effect? Sounds about right.
Thank you for being kind to a noob. What you say about Va is true: it is a structural, airframe limitation. I agree with you wholeheartedly. (You ...
No. You definitely don't land with full flaps on all aircraft. Standard landing configuration in a Foxbat is one stage of flaps. Short field landings ...
