and what is the expected differential (gain/loss) with say a 10degree slip indication variation, given all the other factors that determine climb rate.
This might b able to be worked out mathematically given the airflows angle on the wing and fuselage drags differences I suspect that are several aerodynamic factors would have to be considered, especially given the the thermal core is dynamic. A question for modern designers perhaps, especially when all aviation design is a trade off Richard Frawley [email protected] We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children > On 17 Jan 2019, at 9:43 am, Mike Borgelt <[email protected]> > wrote: > > At 07:36 AM 1/17/2019, you wrote: >> Perhaps the more important question is how to you tell if one technique is >> better than another.
