Why are Lears "easy to fly" in cruise?
Forgive OT and SLF question (or not, as mods whim): what little I know tells me modern transports need such fine management in high-altitude cruise that many airlines insist that the electronics must be in charge under normal circumstances. In particular, a handful of KPH separate stall and overspeed.
Why is it than an antique bizjet - surely without all the sophistication of modern electronics - seems to (normally) survive that regime without heroics? All in the wing design?
