    Clmax on same airfoil and wing geometry on heavier aircraft has lower value, why?

    The biggest lies in aeronautics comming still from USA! Never a single number was correct, allways to ask users in order to evauluate real performance. For the MCR, as I can say , figures are true and can be viewed in real flights on planes having 6 and 17 years within tthousends of...

    Fastest Light Sport Airplane?

    Hy there I have to protest: quote:"..The highest altitude it can attain and still run at 5500rpm/90% power is roughly 3000ft.." It is not thrue by practice. But your calculation is probably not so bad, but power is not equal speed only. Two examples from my flight - praxis: 1) I fly a VLA...

    Starter solenoid power

    small addendum: This contact is usualy not for a load about as you wrote, but good for 3 to 5 A. The solenoid is a special one in case of a car-type starter with "flying wheel", they can consum about 10 A. Because there are two magnetic elements to drive: first the solenoid contact to feed big...
