Nick,
Happy labor day to you and to all on the board.
Two quick questions and then the thread. Is it possible to go to your plant and get a tour without causing too much grief for the workers?
And is the RAH66 scheduled sometime to get to ADTA at Rucker as a J serialed aircraft?
The thread,
I believe and can intuitively agree with all you said except the part about rotor wake interaction and groundspeed/airspeed.
It seems like in this example you would be in this region longer because it's taking you longer to accelerate through it. (result of the ten knot tailwind)
The relative airspeed over the disc would be the key here regardless of groundspeed.
Continuing to scrape my knuckles in the dirt when I walk,
Tom
