I would think vortex generators would help reduce the stall speed without
causing to much drag and reducing its speed. Michael 182 wrote: Before I get flamed, remember this is a seies of questions, not a statement... In my 182 I slow the plane, assuming gear is already down, by reducing power and pitching up. On a laminar flow wing (does the Cirrus have a laminar flow wing?) I understand that the wing stall happens pretty abruptly - either you are flying or your not. If that is the case, it seems that speed brakes would aid in getting the speed under control without as much danger of being close to the stall speed and pitching up to control airspeed. All right, I'm done. Have at it... Michael "Newps" wrote in message ... "Dude" wrote in message ... Cirrus could improve their situation vastly by adding speed breaks. This could reduce the stalls, at least on approach. It would also reduce the severe shock cooling they are seeing due to their engine control system. How would speed brakes help? Speed brakes do not reduce the speed at which a wing stalls. |
