Quote from mm43:
"Until such time as there is a better understanding of how the Flaperon floated, it may or may not fit neatly into this study. I personally suspect that its behaviour will fall outside that of a general field of floating debris."
Thanks, mm43, for responding to the question I posed 42 hours ago:
"Is there anything unique about the floating capabilities of a flaperon, as compared with other primary or secondary flight controls made of composites? Or, for that matter, belly fairings, landing-gear doors, fan cowlings, etc,?"
I see my question was poorly phrased. Instead of "floating capabilities", perhaps it should have read something like "floating capabilities, characteristics, and sailing performance"?
