Hi All,

Imagine a plane in 2 conditions.

1) Climbing with full power
2) Descending fast with 50% power.

Waitaminute - how can a plane be in both conditions at the same time!?

Both have constant rates of ascent and descent.

But are they the same rates or different?
What are the angles of attack on the wings in both cases?
What are the indicated airspeeds - the same or different?

Question A: Which wing is closer to stall?

The left one. I think. Except if it's a biplane and Tuesday, in which case
it would be the red one.

Question B: A big updraft occurs, which is more likely to stall?

The one whose condition was closer to stall.

Aha, too deep for you eh? :-P

Cheers
