Default RE: Weight Management on a Jet
The most significant impact of the weight reduction is the stall speed/
Are u sure? My calculations show that a full 10% reduction in weight (a huge savings) yeilds only approx 5% reduction in Vs. A model coming over the fence at 30 mph is not gonna seem very different from on coming over the fence at 28.5 mph..........
