Except that they manufactured aeroplanes and I have already posted another of their products.

Goodnight LM, sleep well!

I'm here, but just popping by for a look. I'll be in the doghouse if I don't get on with something more useful at home!

Good Morning LM,

Not right now thanks; the player (??) might get Yawn Coupling and Roll over in bed (especially the Dutch ones (where has Ton got to??)).

How's the pin,; did the PK+ZZzz work OK?

Edited to say new Page

If lateral stability > directional stability = Dutch roll

If directional stability > lateral stability = spiral instability (spiral dive)

As altitude increases, lateral stability decreases at a lower rate than directional.

Therefore propensity to Dutch roll increases with altitude and spiral instability decreases.

Well, you almost asked........

Sorry - crossed posts

Apologies - not yet fully awake.

Maybe we'll need to re-post 040 shortly.

That would probably be a good idea, thanks!

Not really a stability thing, but I'm, sure the bird wing emulator man, Mr Bonney would have been fascinated by it. Have you seen this? (A-380 gust alleviation)
