![]() "cpu" wrote in message ps.com... I don't think so. Boeing will make 787 almost full composite. The problem is their design. Both Cirrus and Columbia have very high wing-load, therefore fast speed. Which implies its stall speed is high and poor low-speed handling. Wingload is the total wight devided by wing area. High wing load means per square feet of wing has to bear higher weight of the craft. In the low speed, you can imaging that the low air pressure max out its capability to bear the weight. I agree. I don't think it's a design issue, I think it is just at slow and low speed there isn't much margin AND the chute is useless at that phase. ---------------------------------------------------- DW |
