The majority of the lift generated by an unstalled airfoil is always concentrated near the front, and moving a trailing-edge flap up or down changes the flow conditions at the leading edge. The FW-190 rolled 151 deg/sec at 226 knots, the Spitfire 150 at 176, and the P-40 134 at 315.

irplane controls work per the Lever Principle, and a wing’s airfoil shape increases lift via the Bernouilli Principle and Coanda Effect. five hours at 150 knots vs. five weeks at 5 knots). The oldest is Archimedes’ Law. The Four Forces of Flight (Lift, Thrust, Drag & Gravity) obey Newton’s Three Laws of Motion.

The three-blade “Polaris” prop for the Diamond DA-40NG not only increases cruise speed by three knots, but cuts noise output to 74 dB – an important consideration for a trainer. The four-blade carbon-fiber scimitar prop decreases weight by 20 pounds (compared with a metal prop) and cuts takeoff distance by 25%.

As North American discovered with the Sabreliner, Lear soon realized that the real expense in designing a new aircraft are the hours spent perfecting the airfoils, landing gear, and major systems. Thus, the search for a suitable design led to Switzerland and the orphaned P-16 lightweight fighter project.

We routinely taxi at 1200 rpm due to the low spray…[we] can cruise at 10 knots” in displacement mode, something a Goose can’t do. The airfoil is a Harry Riblett shape, giving modernized flow separation on the leading edge for a soft stall yet with good lift and drag performance. But it will go 140 knots at 28 gph total.)

For one thing, the F2s fuselage hangs from a completely new wing with two distinct airfoil shapes. An obvious discontinuity leads to a thinner airfoil inboard. Flight Design rates the F2 with the same 16-knot demonstrated crosswind component as the previous CTs. Stall Speed, Flaps Down: 39 knots Takeoff Distance: 460 ft.

“Coming back around, I’m usually at about 60 knots. This was a characteristic of the Mk II and Mk III Bulldogs, but was eliminated in the Mk IV when the airfoil was changed, enclosing the tanks entirely. In this fighter, you don’t make square turns, so to speak. of Great Britain, built 443 of the type.
