So larger tumbles means better fighters. . . . Because USA fighters are tumble free, they loose. ?!? *Absolute nonsense! NOTHING in that article supports ANYTHING you say! Somebody in this review article cites the Wright Brothers. It is disgusting. ?!? *They built a canard airplane. *It flew. *What is "disgusting" about that? The article was a review article that supports a contention. The US policy is to not use canards. This was one of my contentions in one reply in this thread. It is disgusting because the refer to the Wright Flyer as analysis of behavior of all canards. And in the article a particular shortfall of the canard was it ability to tumble. And tumble as a benefit was ignored. A canard can overcome this shortfall by a properly sized rudder and vertcial stabilizer. And perform one of the manuvers I suggest without failing. A 45 degree banked Condor maneuver. |
