negative dihedral
With all of the expert* pilots here, why would bombs on the top of the
wings be a problem? Go inverted, much better visibility toward the ground then, right? Then release, they'll fall away. *Expert: you have to take the word into its component parts: Ex is a has been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure. On Jun 6, 12:47 pm, "Robert M.

Which way is up? http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/a...-solo_1024.jpg Our airplane says no more than 30 degree pitch and 60 degree bank, so we would not be putting bombs on the top of our wings. As for up? Who here could you ask for reliable directions "Can you show me the way to up, please?" That actually does raise some interesting questions -- it's far to subtle to matter to airplane flight, but I wonder how accurately "up" can be measured, and how big is the average absolute error compared to something starting at the exact center of the earth. For that matter, how would you find the exact center? |
