So what are you saying? A plane flying in clouds has to be high-performance
to be safe? What?
A plane flying in clouds at subfreezing temperatures DOES have to be
high performance to be reasonably safe. A low performance airplane
will fall out of the sky too quickly when the ice starts building.
A plane flying in clouds needs range to escape deteriorating weather.
That means speed and/or endurance.
