Stability and Control characteristics of the Early Mark Spitfires

[Crumpp]

Do you read what you are highlighting or posting?

The Operating Notes almost verbatium repeat the exact same warning for the Spitfire Mk II AS THE MK I.

In fact, you have saved me the trouble of posting them.

What has what happened in1910-1912

Bryan's theories were developed before WWI but the attitude that pilot's determine flying qualities over the engineer persisited until after World War II.

It was not until AFTER World War II that the ARC developed a standard that all designs had to meet.

That is a fact.

The article you posted points this out.

First it concludes that the Aeronautical Research Council made the mistake of regulating stability and control engineering to an academic exercise leaving the practical to the opinion of pilots. Exact same thing the AAIA article I posted relates.

Then, the ARC concludes that a foundation was laid during the war for estabilishing a defined set of standards for stability and control.
