First flight of Embraer's Phenom 300
What was the little cone shaped thing off the tail during the flight?
Probably a drogue carrying the static port. Allows a static reference completely separate from the airframe. They'll compare readings of airframe ports to the drogue reference and select which port(s) are the most accurate. Yep, Ron, I agree completely, now that I saw the video. My question is, what is the truss looking structure on the fuselage's tailcone? Uncovered structure, or something that can be deployed outwards, to act as a drag brake, or spin stopper? -- Jim in NC
