Wouldn't ground effect be less effective without a turning prop? (assuming total engine failure) It is my understanding that ground effect occurs when the wing is within half a wingspan of the runway surface. It acts to diminish wingtip vortices which reduces induced drag, and permits the aircraft to continue flying at a speed slower than the speed at which the wing would normally stall at a higher altitude AGL. There is some technical discussion of ground effect he http://whitts.alioth.net/Pagec7landings.htm#GE_ http://www.whittsflying.com/page4.70...%20Landing.htm http://cafe.ou.edu/flightdeck/app5.html http://www.avweb.com/news/airman/185905-1.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_effect http://avstop.com/AC/FlightTraingHan...undEffect.html http://www.se-technology.com/wig/htm...en=aero&code=0
