Stryker_Viking,
I’m not sure what you meant when you said: by adding weight it will make the plane slower.
I think you mean it in some other context. I’m sure that you know weight does not affect speed, it can affect other things but not max speed.
Any weight increase will also increase wing load.
It’s pretty basic actually if you think about it…
When comparing two wings at the same speed but with different wing loads;
The one with the higher wing load will need higher angle of attack to achieve the necessary lift = Increased drag = Lower speed…
In addition to an added plain reality that to accomplish this higher angle of attack an input of the control surface must be there = Increased drag = Lower speed…
Makes sense, doesn’t it…?
Got To run now - going flying...
