No, he's not; he's questioning the numbers which seem to be a little
suspect. Manufacturers of certified aircraft puff their numbers. Didn't
you know that, Morgue?


Larry you and I on the same side of the fence for a change, now that is
astonishing. :-)

Less astonishing...

I'll take a bit of a different slant. g

The "numbers" published for certified aircraft are legitimate.
They can be duplicated.... *IF* one duplicates the specific
conditions that were used to generate them in the first place.
This could include a number of conditions and parameters
that are impractical for us to duplicate/measure accurately
from under our cozy shade tree.

CAVEAT
IMO, any numbers published by manufacturers, while
accurate, may not be particularly useful and possibly
misleading to the mere mortals that dare apply them in
the real world.

The irony here is....
We have some dumb bunnies that will unduly question
"numbers" from legitimate sources with everything to lose,
but will bend over backwards to accommodate any struggling
backyard operation without qualification. Go figure!!!

Perhaps this goofy behavior needs be labeled...
