All of you are missing the point. The pilot of the RV6 lost power and had to
make allot of choices quick. One fact that sticks is the stall speed of these heavy planes.The stall speed is the problem. Had she had an emergency chute to open ,,,the plane and pilots could have been saved.Lighter craft can land at slower speeds and to decrees the stall speed by 20 miles an hour will put the impact G forces nearly 100% slower than at 55 miles an hour.Airbags in the proper places could also have prevented the man from loosing his wife. Inthe cheapest auto made,,airbags are included and the price of the car is less than 20k. Not only are the engines antique, but the safety ideas and design manors are also stuck in the pass.. My heart goes out to him and his children for their loss and look to the future when safety in the cockpit will be number one. The devices are there. Just need to start applying them. wrote in message ... The Wright Flyer was also known as the Flyer I and sometimes Kitty Hawk. It was an experimental airplane designed and built by the Wright Brothers. It was the first sustained controlled heavier-than-air powered flight. Warplanes.com offers the Wright Brother Flyer I model airplane on 30% sale. It has a span of 20 inches and length of 10 inches. It was a complete replica of the original aircraft and it will be a perfect desktop display. For more information visit our website: http://www.warplanes.com/. |
