Beta Zero ?
Hi Guys,
During a recent discussion, the term Beta Zero came up.
During an engine failure on an AIRBUS, the slip slip index will turn into a Beta target, when flaps is out of 0 and not in landing falps config.
Centering the Beta target means the a/c will fly with a sideslip, i.e. most arerodynamically efficient.
However, when we are on Full config, it will go back to BETA ZERO. Meaning Side slip index centered = no side slip.
Any information on Beta Zero ?
Thanks a lot and have a nice weekend.
Cheers,
