Default Chicago Seminar Feb 24 Piggott, Striedieck, Good, Carswell, Lewis, Cochrane

I just talked to KS and ask him to bring this year's hawk over to my farm
for a hunt. He told me he could not, as he just released his hawk for this
year. He told me it was set free for a "low IQ" He said it was the dumbest
bird he had ever seen. Hmmmm, glad to see that birds can suffer from human
aspects as well......LOL

My answer is of course NO since the fuselage is a closed and static
system (although there is obviously an air exchange) and as such the
total mass would not change. Any other opinions?

Well, any sensible hawk would fly up to first class for better food.
Then, passengers would run aft, thereby decreasing trim drag.
So, less fuel consumption but possibly an interesting landing ?
