Default RE: Landings - How Do You Do It?






Losing airspeed by reducing the angle of attack??

Neat trick.

So neat, it'd revolutionize landings entirely.

And physics too!



Easy with the hasty generalization. Attached are several airfoils that indeed have a drag increase as alpha approaches 0. So physics wouldn't really be surprised in the least. But I digress...
