I'm not sure you would even feel it if you landed with one or both doors
closed.

True enough, but I am also not sure that you would not end up on your nose or in a nasty ground loop. IMHO the
added expense, complexity, and risk is not worth the presumed 2 mph speed gain.

I heard that leaving them closed for landing simply scrapes through the doors and the pilot didn't even notice. I don't
see any costs quoted, but I imagine they would cot a little more than simple pants.

I like the auto actuating ideas...
