Anatoli-Kagari9 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Long ago there was a thread initiated by me regarding a "weird" effect I had noticed in the P51d, namely the fact that on takeoffs under strong x-wind components, during the initial stages of the takeoff run there might be need to use upwind rudder and even a bit of downwind aileron, which appeared to me as totally unplausible... There were variosu factors mentioned among which the effects of the deflected propwash / slipstream as full power is added for the start of teh takeoff run. I was convinced further along that thread where Yo-Yo himself offered his view / explanation that the effect did make sense, but the following lesson taken from an interesting Indian University site pretty much explains how sometimes the deflected propwas can actually have a negative contribuiton in Cnβ See Fig. 5.6 on page 3. Flight Simulation is the Virtual Materialization of a Dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
