skippydiesel Posted July 27 Posted July 27 Couldn't watch all the way through, so hope the impression I got, has not been appropriately addressed later in the video - BS! This system may do something about light turbulence. No way will it address the the rough stuff or the powerful up/down drafts that can occur when full power has the aircraft still descending and idle has it continuing to assend. 😈
facthunter Posted July 27 Posted July 27 Nothing I know of would do that, except a well trained Pilot dedicated to Maintaining control and limiting "G" forces and extreme attitudes. Limits of Possible weather effects are ever changing. There will be conditions that No Plane can Guarantee safe Passage without being a special Military thing with Massive Power to weight and high Structural strength..Nev
Jabiru7252 Posted July 28 Posted July 28 I would like to see some sort of 'G' meter installed with data being recorded with this system being switched on and off during a flight.
facthunter Posted July 31 Posted July 31 As airspeeds increase Turbulence is More Noticed particularly with Low(er) wing loadings. The Mini flaps working in both directions are better than Pitch changes and would cause less drag..Nev
Cyrano Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Airbus has had a similar system for decades LOAD ALLEVIATION FUNCTION. Completely automatic and invisible to the crew: 1
Student Pilot Posted August 1 Posted August 1 No matter what you have the air is moving up or down in a parcel. Depending on how big the parcel/area is, how fast you're going and the vertical speed of the moving air as to what if any actions you can take. If you enter a 6,000' or even 600' a minute vertically moving up/down draught then you're only along for the ride, no amount of control manipulation can overcome. Is there anything (mebe Doppler?) that can look ahead and see or predict accurately (without precipitation) what the air ahead is doing? 2
facthunter Posted Tuesday at 06:22 AM Posted Tuesday at 06:22 AM One night on a freight flight from Launceston to Hobart (Not that far) in a standing wave condition with a Lenticular cloud over the Central Tiers and the wind from the West, the Plane rose 3,000 feet with Power at idle and the speed at Vne..Air smooth as silk. It would not be like that in the daytime. Nev.
