Re: Taxi speeds - how fast is too fast
Hi Guys
This is actually quite a complicated problem. I am currently finishing off some analysis regarding safe operating speeds, and have been curios to know what the highest speeds are that anybody might have seen. The problem with calculating these types of stability margins is the fact that you have so many non-linearities, especially from the tyres and the oleos. This means that you can get crazy situations that you could have two wildly different behaviours, even though you have the same thrust and steering angle settings.
