Chryse,
You said:
Vmca is always higher that Vmcg
Why is this? I would assume it's to do with the stabilising effect of the friction from the gear? Makes sense, it's just that I've never heard this before.
Also, if this is the case, would it not be true that tail-draggers would have a
lower Vmca than Vmcg, since the friction from the main wheels will de-stabilise the aircraft on the ground? Not very relevant to modern aviation, since there aren't too many tail-dragger twins still flying - I'm just curious.
Cheers,
FFF
