I wonder, does anyone routinely recalculate limiting V speeds on the
basis of TOW? I assume that limiting Va speeds go with the square root of the fraction MTOW loading so for 75% MTOW Va would drop to 86% Va. But the question is, if Vne is limited by arodynamic issues such as flutter or windshield how would that change with load? Put another way, is Vne ever load dependent and/or does anyone use a rule like that for Va? A second sort of connected question is: is there any wing that can produce more lift at 45 degrees AOA than at the stall point (I know that most airfoils produce about the same lift at 45 AOA as at the stalling point)? What I'm thinking about is wings with washout or drag reducing devices that will reduce maximum lift at the stall point but not the 'flat plate at 45 AOA' lift. Put another way, how much loss of lift do we get from typical washout? Cheers |
