Bummer.....inconvenient facts again! Yet another learning opportunity from SA and Captain D! Thank you John....always good info from you.
I take it then....when you say "exactly vertical" that means an actual relative wind of "Zero" no matter what IAS is "clocked".
How much leeway does that allow for airspeed variance in actuality before you lose the effect?
Also....in the larger aircraft....it has been said one can simply "power" your way out of VRS without resorting to the CW of "flying" out of the situation.
Is that true....and if so....how much would that apply to the Osprey where only the one Prop Rotor is in VRS?
I cannot recall ever getting into VRS in a Chinook....though when doing a Training Demo it was possible to get some instability and vibration but never ever anything that would have remotely have been described as scaring my socks off.
Any memories of Chinook days you can add?
