Title: JG 2 Tests new Typhoon: Analysis
Post by: Ripsnort on March 20, 2000, 12:23:00 PM: We have determined that the upcoming Typhoon for AH has sufficient wing loading, and any wings ripping off in a dive will determined to be a bug. Expect to see a few german crosses painted on her if we ever get the ability to use A/C skins within AH (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

(but shouldn't the plane be upside down for wing loading pulling out of a dive .... :-) )
In other words the loading of people on the wing is NEGATIVE G. Turn it upside down., load them on, then you've +ve G.

Wot me, a pedant .... <grin>

Post by: funked on March 21, 2000, 08:38:00 AM: Considering the plane weighs about 12000 lbs, 10000 lbs of people on the wings are not even as bad as a 2-g turn.
