Discus polar curve at high speeds
If "something goes bang" it is either because of a) flutter or b)
extreme drag forces when extending airbrakes at extreme speeds. Which are the known incidents of gliders fluttering to bits? (apparently Dirks parachuted from the DG-600 prototype after wing loss, also almost loosing his eyeballs in the process...) Karl
