for theory behind wing tip vortices http://www.onemetre.net/Download/Downwash/LiftLine/Liftline.htm Read up also on ground effect. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
