Stability and Control characteristics of the Early Mark Spitfires

[Crumpp]

PS I do owe you an apology.
You said that the design of the Spitfire wing was done at a number of colleges and I asked you which to which you gave me a number. It was a trick question which you fell for.
You may or may not know what is taught at the establishments you named, but you would not know what they use in their lectures unless you had done the course so your list must have been made up.
Also you said Cambridge as one of the establishments. Cambridge isn't a place where you study. Cambridge is in effect an admin centre for 31 Colleges or to be more precise seats of learning and none of them do aerodynamics.

I can tell you that Cranfield is the premier University for Aerospace in the UK its very advanced with their own test fleet of aircraft. We had visiting lecturers from Cranfield come to HMS Daedalus for some of our studies which included Hovercraft

Which has what to do with anything?

I never claimed to go to Cambridge. I went to Embry Riddle. I do have friends who went to other colleges and they also know of the Spitfire's instability.

What does your point have to do with that fact or any fact relevant to this discussion?

Or the fact, it is Cambridge University that published the book??

Before coming to Cambridge in October, you must complete this booklet of problems, produced by the Department. It contains questions on mathematics, geometry, mechanics, DC electrical circuits and electromagnetism, to help prepare you for lectures. There is a supporting Website containing guidance notes and links to learning resources (as well as
the booklet itself in PDF format). Your college will send you a username and password to access the material online, and will either send you a hard copy of the booklet, or direct you to print your own copy from the Website. Your
Director of Studies will give you further guidance on tackling these problems, and may ask for the work to be handed in at the start of your first term, for discussion in your first supervisions.
