My study of aerodynamics thus far indicates that it is impossible, unless you
descend to catch your descending wake. Wakes _always_ descend. It's a
consequence of the mechanism that produces the lift that sustains the
aircraft, and it's unavoidable. Every source that I have consulted points
this out, without exception. Your mere assertion to the contrary is
completely unpersuasive in comparison.


Then obviously your study of aerodynamics thus far is incomplete as
it can not explain what really happens in real life to real pilots.

Theory is confirmed or invalidated by experiment.

Your theories are invalidated by years of experiments, i.e. actual
pilots flying actual airplanes.

It just means you don't know a whole lot about real flying or what
happens in a real airplane.


No, it means that I look at the facts, and I don't depend on the legends.


So now your are reduced to the semantic arguement that the experiences
of thousands of pilots for many, many years are but a legend?

Have you ever done a short field take off in your Flight Simulator
Cessna with the springy gear and had the mains vibrate for a few
seconds shaking the airplane?


I don't fly the Cessna, and I fly only at airports with hard, smooth runways
that won't bounce the aircraft around.


Yet another statement that only goes to show a Microsoft flying game
is not an accurate representation of what happens in real airplanes.

The surface of the runway has nothing to do with the effect mentioned
and a whole lot with the maneuver performed.
