Hi
I think the reason might be acceleration loads on other parts than wings and spars. Imagine the wing lifting an a/c whose weight is suddenly reduced by a significant amount. The wings still produce the same lift so the result will be an upward acceleration imposing great loads on engine...
Hi All,
I'm trying to get a feel for the opening shock g-load in various parachutes. I've found NACA TN 2051 on their server, and it seems from this the jolt would be in the order of 2g. Anybody with knowledge or a literature tip out there?
Stabilitywise a canard aircraft is nothing but a normal aircraft with an extreme rearward cg,(using the fwd wing for reference) and a corresponding huge tail volume. (Main Wing) So flying in a stable manner with all surfaces lifting upwards is not impossible.
I have seen experimental model engines on the net using solenoids to actuate the valves. I certainly seems to be a possible solution given due development. Sorry but I can't remember the web address.
