![]() "Gig 601XL Builder" wrDOTgiaconaATsuddenlink.net wrote There's a big difference from being displaced 10 feet from the center of a 20ft 747 cabin and being 40 ft from the center. And sure the (auto)pilot has control of the bank but he still has to land and I've been in wide body airliners that did a significant amount banking on final during bad weather. I wonder if a version of this plane could use fly by wire to change the way the plane turns, a bit. Could they have the plane do a bit more of a skid though the turns to eliminate, or mostly eliminate the up and down of the banking for the passenger's comfort? A little more lateral G would be better, I would think. -- Jim in NC |
