#2890164 - 10/29/09 06:25 AM DART - make this a sticky?
RocketDog SimHQ Member Registered: 05/20/03 Posts: 491 Loc: Bath, England	This article has been mentioned several times in recent threads: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/pao/History/SP-468/ch2-2.htm It's incredibly useful. Any chance of making a link to it a sticky? Cheers, RD. [mod] Great idea - except we need to open it up to ALL links that provide information. [/mod] Edited by Dart (10/29/09 06:56 AM) Edit Reason: Of course now that it's a sticky nobody will read it. _________________________ i7 920 2.66Ghz @ 3.80GHz; 6 GB DDR3; GTX 285 1024 MB Beyond gliding distance

Examble that has Fokker D.VII weight listed wrong (and thus all of its numbers that depend on weight) _________________________ You can get used to everything, but icicle in the a**.

Just pretend you can hear me in a bad Ming impersonation saying "I mean it's really rather okay on second thought."

Jimko SimHQ Member Registered: 08/08/09 Posts: 137 Loc: Vancouver Island, BC	Nice to see that the NASA link I posted (twice) is considered to be useful enough to rate as a sticky...or was I just a being a nuisance... I just added a different link on the same topic in another post but I'll repeat it here so it can share this topic heading: http://scientificaviator.com/index.php?v...t&Itemid=63 _________________________ Jimko "The older we are, the better we were!"

I think the history and engineering buffs are just beginning to discover RoF. Maybe we were both ahead of our time Here's another to consider: http://naca.central.cranfield.ac.uk/reports/1923/naca-tn-147.pdf HT _________________________ "I sent one of them down to hell in flames today . . .

Jimko SimHQ Member Registered: 08/08/09 Posts: 137 Loc: Vancouver Island, BC	No offense taken, HT...that's why I wondered if I was just being a "nuisance", since I didn't know if others had posted it... Glad that you have added another to the list...thanks! I don't get as caught up in these facts and figures as some zealots do, but they are interesting to me for sake of comparing the different planes' characteristics as well as the evolution of their development. I once got caught up in trying to figure out the glide ability of the Camel and WW1 planes in general so I have some comparative info on that as well. Perhpas I'll dig it out and post it here sometime in the future. Edited by Jimko (10/30/09 10:29 AM) _________________________ Jimko "The older we are, the better we were!"
