While there are a number of piston engines capable of operating on more readily available jet fuel, late last year, Gogetair flew its top-of-the-line G750 aircraft with a Turbotech TP-R90 turboprop engine. First, the structural design of the aircraft offers an optimized center of gravity that results in better flight stability and handling.

To fly an aircraft that weighs more than 12,500 pounds or a jet (regardless of weight), pilots require a type rating. a jet engine) for lift at low speed but non-rotating surfaces (i.e., To fly an aircraft that weighs more than 12,500 pounds or a jet (regardless of weight), pilots require a type rating. wings) at higher speeds.

It was also the first VTOL aircraft to use a jet thrust diverter system for vertical lift. It was capable of flying up to 172 mph (277 km/h, 149 knots) and reach a service ceiling of 18,000 ft (5,500 m). A Fairchild flight data analyzer camera records the Bell X-14A simulating a landing on the lunar surface.

Increasing The Aircraft Speed Small, light, and low-powered aircraft such as the Cessna 172 have a relatively narrow operational speed range ranging from 40 knots up to about 160 knots. Commercial airliners fly at speeds above 300 knots but also need to be controllable at speeds below 150 knots.

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. Early on a speed restriction of 130 knots was applied as a flutter issue. This was resolved on the kit version and led to cruising at 50% power and 120 knots, which proved to be the Gweduck’s sweet spot.

Landing on a short field required full flaps and the slowest possible safe airspeed, a couple of knots above stall. That was about 89 knots, as I recall. That one-ton shift of weight drastically altered the aircraft’s center of gravity, unbalancing my landing trim setting. We had to get on the ground ASAP!
