RE: CG and Stall Speed
Ben,
Lets say we are dealing with a load factor that is not constant. Would you agree that it still holds true. Lets say its variable between 1g and 3 gs. Would you agree that an increased speed would be needed to keep the wing from reaching critical AOA as the load factor increases. Also their would be a margin of speed differences depending on the location of C.G. Also I am not saying that margin is constant but still exists.
Example
Lets say for a constant aircraft weight: G = Load Factor
1 G aircraft stalls at 50 kts at 6degree AOA forward C.G. condition.
1 G aircraft stalls at 40 kts at 6 degree AOA aft C.G. condition.
2 G aircraft stalls at 60 kts at 6 degree AOA forward C.G. condition.
2 G aircraft stall at 50 kts at 6 defree AOA aft C.G. condition.
3 G aircraft stalls at 70 kts at 6 degree AOA forward C.G. condition.
3 G aircraft stall at 60 kts at 6 degree AOA aft C.G. condition.
I agree with you and johng that the AOA does not change. however their is still a 10 kts margin even thought the speeds are changing as the load factor changes. (10 kts margin is just for the example and may not always stay constant) This margin is due solely to the position of the C.G. Would you agree with this?
