Other relevant numbers for the E1000 AX are its max cruise speed of 333 knots, max operating altitude of FL 340 and NBAA range of 1,560 nm. Over the years we’ve flown a lot of aircraft with “aft-tending” centers of gravity—if you filled the seats, you were outside the aft CG limit, and the rear seats in six-place airplanes were unusable.

AGL is important for drone pilots as the regular ceiling for drone flight is defined as 400 feet AGL. CG Center of Gravity For any given body, the CG is the average position of the weight distribution of an object. This is as opposed to other altitude measurements, such as AMSL or above mean sea level.

Weather factors for this trip included the always concerning combination of low ceilings and rough terrain over Pennsylvania combined with forecasts for strong, gusty wind. Although we deemed the ceiling adequate for the journey, pilots used a variety of tactics to manage it.

(Wright State University) The original configuration of the Bell Model 68 was an open cockpit all-metal monoplane with fixed landing gear that was powered by two Armstrong Siddeley Viper turbojet engines with thrust deflectors located at the aircraft’s center of gravity.

I glanced over my shoulder to see our loadmaster scramble up the cargo bay’s side panels, then cling to the ceiling, barely clear of slashing horns. Landing on a short field required full flaps and the slowest possible safe airspeed, a couple of knots above stall. That was about 89 knots, as I recall. Load to pilot!

As Aviat worked to increase the useful load of the Husky, it also extended the center of gravity (CG) range. The tail comes off the ground to a tail-low position and the airplane flies off at about 45 knots. The best angle of climb speed (VX) is 59 knots and gets the Husky over a 50-foot obstacle in seemingly no time at all.

We routinely taxi at 1200 rpm due to the low spray…[we] can cruise at 10 knots” in displacement mode, something a Goose can’t do. Early on a speed restriction of 130 knots was applied as a flutter issue. This was resolved on the kit version and led to cruising at 50% power and 120 knots, which proved to be the Gweduck’s sweet spot.
