Aerodynamic Posers
Hi All
New to the Forum, with a couple of tech questions (for starters). Got my own thoughts on these but I'd like clarification from someone with a more solid understanding.
1. Why will the roll capability of an aircraft INCREASE with a DECREASE in Gross Weight? Roll capability is a function of AoA (i.e a lower AoA increases roll capability) but why?
2. Why will a swept wing INCREASE the amount of roll induced by rudder inputs?
Looking forward to your replies.
