Default RE: .65 "sport speed" - the doodling has begun.


ORIGINAL: freakingfast

I like the idea, but I'd like to see it in a V tail version.
The main problem with most speed planes is the dang things like speed so much they won’t slow down for a landing.
Too slow and they get uncontrollable or drop out of the air. A bit too fast and it goes screaming off the end of the average length run way.
So many fast planes have wonderful flights only to end forever by those two reasons.
Some humongous flaps that you can pop mixed with down elevator would be great.
I just had two replies vaporize, and I'm falling asleep.. so I'll get back to this tomorrow. I'm thinking single center section flap, and how not to tear it off.

'Nite all..
