... it’s written by a guy who uses flight simulators, this is crank stuff.
- GregTravis 8y agoThe 757 flight simulator that I've flown was a full-motion flight simulator at UPS's Louisville training facility. I was helping conduct 6-month certification flights as co-pilot. I would say that if those simulators are good enough for UPS's 757 pilots' recurring training, they're good enough for this Cessna driver to understand that difference between his plane and a 757. Answer: Not that much.
- jordan_clark 8y agoGreg - Serious question - How is that air frame on the Max8 faulty due to engine placement when the A320NEO has almost the same design?
- salawat 8y agoBecause the A320neo can fit the engines under instead of in front of the wings, thereby negating the nacelles contribution to leading edge flow separation.
- GregTravis 8y agoExactly. Except it’s not flow separation that is the problem. It’s the lift that the nacelles generate combined with their mass and moment far ahead of the center of gravity
- salawat 8y agoYes, my mistake. Stated the outcome, not the action that gets you there.
