wing design

I haven't seen much discussion above about low-level aerodynamics issues - like how does wing design on Airbus affect the problems that might be encountered? I know the wing design must be very...

PJ2,

Your vast experience and knowledge is compelling, but so is the lack of any flotsam around the fin and spoiler panel when they were found. How do you explain that? Surface tension tends to...

What I see is that a belly flop on the hard desert pan of sufficient violence to completely destroy the aircraft, did not separate the fin from the empennage or from the HS, but that the rudder was...
