primitive plane flying characteristics
If a hypothecal aircraft was built as follows, what would the flying characterics be like ?
Low wing plane, same basic size / specs as say an Extra 300.
(or a high wing plane ... same basic specs as a 172)
Differences :
Wings - replaced by same size "flat boards'.
No camber.
Uniform thickness. (I.E. a BOARD !)
No dihedral (is there any on a real Extra 300 ?)
Tail surfaces - also replaced with flat boards. No camber, etc.
From what I've read, the boundary layer would seperate very quickly, causing lots of drag ??? Therefore much more power would be required ?
I'm guessing it's gonna stall at a higher speed, and pretty violently / un-predictably ?
With no dihedral (is there any on aerobatic planes), I'm guessing it would be very unstable laterally ???
