LW aircraft speed specifications

[Crumpp]

we aren't talking of entering the realms of transonic flight here

we are simply talking about misinterpreting between IAS and TAS.

Well, you are pilot.....right??

What do they have in common!!!

Seriously?.....you are still in doubt?

Transonic flight and 'misinterpreting' IAS and TAS.......absolutely nothing.....why?

[Crumpp]

wasn't it actually very 'useless'

Of course, it was German, right??

[Al Schlageter]

So how many hours do you two have and what airplanes have you flown from take off to landing?

[Osprey]

How does Crumpp know that Camm was referring to the wing itself when he was shown it? And how does he know it was the sweep itself that he was referring to as useless? He doesn't, it's an assumption. There is no recording nor official transcript of the conversation to gather context therefore zero proof.

[Crumpp]

absolutely nothing.....why?

Nothing??

Really, think about it, every pilot has to account for it in their flight planning.

We will come back to it and here is a huge hint, if you recognize it.

Tell me, what is the difference between these too formula's?

Both formulat's express the same thing.





I am begining to think the men in the VVS were not so stupid, huh!

You certainly cannot explain it and you are pilot, right?

Yes it was obviously but that's not what I am getting at, I don't have agendas, it was primarily useless because it was incomplete, and any subsequent development inspired by the design were quite changed....almost like everyone who saw it knew there were improvements to be made.

Crummp, i know he's a pilot for a fact, i know what he flies, you on the other hand i am doubtful.

you can whine all you like, them's the facts.

Osprey,

Sir Sydney Camm's reaction was typical in fact. Most of the aeronautical engineering community in the world had very little knowledge of swept wing theory, compressibility effects, and transonic flight.

An engineer in the United States had been doing some parallel work on swept wing theory and mach effects. His work was not considered mainstream or accepted by the majority of his colleagues until after the war when the German findings confirmed his....

No all of this related to the original poster's interesting anecdotes.

[Crumpp]

how does it come a major research institution was unaware of the difference?

Really??

So, how was the United States able to produce the atom bomb?

They were aware of things nobody else was aware of!!!

Is it really a surprise that someone in advance of others in specific areas would develop things those without that specific knowledge could not explain????

I see you are avoiding answering the question. Please do your best!! It is ok and I expect you do not know the answer.

They express the same thing.
