I would LUV to hear the explanation of how 6g stall speed is different in a dive pull out vs turning. I.E. Corner speed different in turn vs dive.

So, then one is a rapier and the other is a saber?

Please show your math work with your answer :)

Also I don't remember answering the Gaston question about the P51, but I'm not doubting his word. I would think my not answering his 2nd question about dive or turn would be because anyone asking that question and posting with such faith in his own knowledge, did not deserve an answer. And any attempt at teaching / discussing concepts would produce nothing but futility.

Also a planes cornering speed is less when heading east vs west because the spinning of the earth causes the plane to go faster in one direction vs the other.  :D

Is the coriolis effect modeled?  Especially in regard to bullets?  :devil  :bolt:

  Yes,yes.yes!    When on a merry go round you beat the egg till it's scrambled!


  Oh and Dale you did the math for me," Math solve your own problems"... :devil



   So the square root of 6g's times the clean power on stall speed would be part of the Math but I'm not sure if that's for merry go rounds or roller coasters!
