Watch an ASH 25 come screaming across the line at close to VNe. Looks like a giant McDonalds sign!


Err - no.

In the ASH-25 wing flex is used to check the correct flap settings:
The wing must have a constant bending over the wing span in the
complete speed range.

If the bending changes with varying speeds and flap settings,
something is worn. The flaps need to be re-adjusted. Not a trivial
task.

Ask me how I know.

Interesting is the landing setting where the ASH-25 wing is designed
that the complete outer trapeze creates negative lift at speeds over
90 kp/h, therefore creating the impressive anhedral during landing.

BTW: Nothing beats the ASW-20L with the 16.60m wing tips in flaps 5
and red line (120 kp/h).
