gol collision

hello 3 miles,

you are spot on.


another reflexion i never thought about until now & i think neither did the designer of the winglets(dr withcomb): if the collision scenario was as the embraerfolks reproduced in their animation : then those fancy wingletdesigns on all those beautiful new aeroplanes, apart from their aerodynamic benefits, are also so many new potential jigsaw hazards in case of collision scenario's. add to that, as mention in many other posts, the new diabolic precision of GPS & voilà, the stage for disaster is 2 steps closer.
