Default writeup in Flight Magazine of the Flying Flea accidents tests


This is the article in "Flight" magazine describing the aerodynamic
investigations into the Flying Flea accidents.
the article incorporates the english Farnborough investigations with
the French St. Cyr investigations (I think).

I am amazed at the quality of the reporting in this article.
I wouldnt be surprised if it was written by an aero engineer with an
independent viewpoint.

See also the mention of pop-rivets in this issue, which refers to an
