At the current moment (refering to this month) I cannot do anything during the day because I'm waiting for a call from Lufthansa.

i think theres got to be a free topic becous this canot go on. thet in the last pages of the topic the sobject is diffrent from the begining.

 

[plan_D]

You think all the threads stay on the original topic!?!

 

[NightHawk]

no, but i think thet starting an open topic is a good idea. 8)

 

[plan_D]

It was a good idea. And someone will answer the question, eventually.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

we could answer your question nighthawk (is it ok to call you NH??) because you still haven't told us exactily what you mean by "slowest plane"........................

 

[plan_D]

He meant the lowest stalling speed.

 

[NightHawk]

you should read the pages thet came before this one than you will have a clearer picture in your mind. and you can call me NH.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

read back?? i've been posting in the topic the whole time, you were never specific about what you said..................

 

[NightHawk]

hmm.....well still im just learning dont forget that.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i'm not having a go at you...........................

 

[NightHawk]

the wings on your lancaster looks like they are going to break

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the lancaster has what's called a wing tip dihedral, that means that the wings go up at an angle but not sraight from the wing root. on the lancaster the dihedral starts just outboard of the inner engines, which is why the wings look bent, and i assume that's what you mean when you say they look teir gonna break.....................

 

[NightHawk]

yes thet is exactly what i meen.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

so yes, they're supposed to look like that, if you ever see it from the front you'll see what i mean..................

 

[Lightning Guy]

Most aircraft have dihedral. Anhedral (wings bending downward) is much rarer but is present on the Harrier. On the subject of wings breaking, B-24 crewmen stated that the slender Davis wings seemed to bend considerable when the B-24 was flow at or near maximum weight.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

although interestingly i don't think the B-24 has a dihedral................

The B-52's are ridiculous...

Ever seen those?
