This is the established and accepted resultant...


does that fit within that diagrams parameters?

In CFD, would this look the same as a flat bottomed boat with the same side angles as an aircraft wing bottom profile?

Would one assume flap setting affect this calculation?

On final, when wheels are down, would the couple between the cores be influenced?

If the aircraft on final encounters a crosswind, the unbalanced diagram would produce what sort of result?

All questions that need to be answered, but how?

( I would note that images of ac on final can be misleading as the rate of descent of the ac, are typically close to the rollup rate of descent)



Cheers to evolution!
