windshield wipers
When I was in flight school I asked why GA aircraft don't have
windshield wipers and was told that it's because the prop blows the rain off - really - that's what they told me. Now I fly lots in rain. This past 2 weeks I have flown in more rain than I ever wanted to see - and the prop definitely doesn't blow the rain off. So I'm back to my original question. Why don't GA aircraft have windshield wipers? It can't be cost - even the cheapest Yugo/Hyundai/Lada have windshield wipers - but not a $250,000 aircraft. Anyone know why? -- Tony Roberts PP-ASEL VFR OTT Night Almost Instrument Cessna 172H C-GICE |
