I dont believe that getting rid of flaps shortens the landing. On Jul 10, 4:28 pm, "Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe" The Sea Hawk @See My Sig.com wrote: My _experience_ has been that brakes slow you down faster than floating along the runway waiting for a three point. * * * * Exactly. The problem, Geoff, as many don't see it, is that a three-point rollout has the wing at a high AOA. The wing does not stop lifting just because the wheels are on the ground so that traction is minimal, and aerodynamic braking diminishes by the square of the airspeed---half the speed, one-quarter of the drag. So a three-point touchdown does not allow immediate heavy braking, and since the speed is still high the airplane covers lots of runway before the lift has dropped to the point that the tires have enough traction for heavy braking. If we wait for the drag to slow us down, that's what we'll do: wait. And use up runway. * * * Raising the tail gets rid of lift and places weight on the mains. Modulating brakes and elevator slows the airplane quickly right from the touchdown point, noseover tendency being controlled with the elevator. Once the airplane is slowed the tail is planted and braking increased further if necessary, though the loss of elevator effectiveness determines just how much brake one can use. * * * *Until one tries it he has no idea what it feels like. There was no way I could stop the 185 in anywhere near the same distance three- point as I was able to do with the tail-high braking. I'm not talking the normal wheel landing here; that requires a higher airspeed to reduce AOA so that the tail is high to start with at touchdown. That eats up runway. I'm *talking minimum speed touchdown, which will be close to the three-point attitude, if not tailwheel-first, and then the tail is raised after touchdown to dump the lift. I'm still beting that with no float and max braking you;d still stop a lot faster three point. Bertie Well, three pointing it means you're going as slowly as you can -- guts football would be to have it hanging by the props and touch down tail first -- so when it's on the ground it's done flying, and breaking should be effective. Did the 3's props have a beta setting? With Reverse pitch the damned thing would probably stop short of the numbers! |

: what were they like to fly? the dak I mean. it is one aircraft I'd really love to fly just to see what they were like, having read Gann's masterpieces. I had an old airline dak pilot as a customer once. he reckoned that they were a really sweet aircraft to fly and lifting the tail on takeoff was a non event. Stealth Pilot Why not fly one and see for yourself? See http://www.incredible-adventures.com/dc3.html Or, you can go all the way and get a DC-3 type rating added to your certificate at http://www.douglasdc3.com/ I'm sure there must be some places closer to you. (No, I haven't done either of these, but it's fun to think about!) -- Marty Shapiro Silicon Rallye Inc. (remove SPAMNOT to email me) |
