"Dudley Henriques" wrote in message news:f188c124-e34b-4816-939e- Is there ever a time when pulling more g does not rob airspeed? I've not experienced any case where more g does not take energy... Cheers The ability to pull g will produce a lot of things including turn rate and radius depending on where the aircraft is in relation to it's specific excess power available. You will lose airspeed to g as induced drag increases, so an energy loss as you have indicated. Thrust is the equalizer if available. *The combination of all these factors determines where the aircraft is at any moment in three dimensional space. Create positive g and counter that with thrust and you have a positive Ps and the ability to accelerate, turn or climb in that area of your envelope. Create g that can't be countered by thrust and you do indeed lose airspeed. The turn you are generating drags the aircraft back toward it's neutral Ps=0 line for those conditions and any g generated beyond that point will result in a negative Ps. With negative energy rate being generated, something has to give. That will usually be altitude. Dudley Henriques ------------------------------------ Bzzzzzzzzzzzzt! The correct answer was No, Hemingway. I'm sure it would be, at your level of understanding. Tell me Maxie,will you EVER have anything useful to contribute other than this constant display of ignorance? |
