posted this on the 'other' thread, but may be more appropo here...

The mechanics of the weather radar and wind shear alert system. Doesnt the windshear alert use the weather radar? I am aware that some models use a l@ser system for windshear, I am just not positive about the connection between the 2 systems.
If the settings for the weather radar had been to look up, with the windshear system auto engage at 2500 feet, does this automatically reposition the dish?

In regards to this thread...wet wings and Reynolds numbers...CFD gone mad in regards to Bernoulli vs Newton..

NASA and wind tunnels...interesting concept, but in reality, its all smoke and mirrors.

In working with some testing, I just found out that there has NEVER been a model tested in a crabbing position..NEVER. Makes you wonder...
