RE: The new Tornado sport jet
No, its the problem as I tried to explain above, because the C of G is forward of the fulcrum the weight on the nose wheel will go up by the multiple of the distance, its only if you distribute the load at either end of the beam that the reaction at any point will stay constant, in our scenario the weight increase is likely to be because of a heavier turbine that has to be compensated for by moving the batteries/UAT etc.
Put this another way, put that 10lb weight over the main wheels/fulcrum?
