I don't care if your impressed or not. First of all, please read the messages right It was the F-4 not the F-104 that I was talking about with the bleed air.
..and i pointet out that the F-104 was the first to use that system, and that it was irrelevant to the discussion...
THE POINT THAT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE TO YOU IS THAT ALL THES DEVICES LOWER THE STALL SPEED AT HIGH AOA WHETHER IT AT LANDING OR DURING MANUEVERS.
..and i don't question this at all..
Which is what the bleed air over the wing does.
I'd like to see you install a bleed-air high-lift device on a model...
You seem to be stuck on proving that you are right and I am wrong that youn miss the whole point.
The fact is that you made a statement that has no basis in fact what so ever:
"as an adendum, L. E flaps are powered up and down either hydraulicaly or electrically where slats are designed to be extended and retracted by airloads depending on the airspeed and the angle of attack."
Just keep on with that attitude and someday it will get you when it hurts the most!
I'd rather keep my attitude and keep informing people when they are wrong, rather than letting it slide so people can spread misinformation....
