Full-fuel payload is a whopping 1,150 pounds, and max landing weight is 7,600. When that big Hartzell prop flattens out, it produces a lot of drag that lets one nicely fine-tune speed and rate of descent. Max usable fuel: 264 gallons Service Ceiling: 34,000 ft. Once we canceled IFR, we spent some time hand-flying the AX.

Among the performance elements are takeoff and landing distances, rate of climb, ceiling, speed, payload, and fuel economy. The result of an alteration in airflow patterns increasing induced drag about the wings of an airplane. What is ground effect?

A Bonanza was in front of me, to the rear were a Baron, a Saratoga, Cessna 185 on floats, and another Baron, each piled almost to the ceiling with aid supplies. A little misty substance appeared at the corners of my eyes, and then I dragged the Mooney clear of the unloading zone for one last effort at fixing my radio problem.

History at High Altitudes During the Cold War, the UK required long-range, high-altitude bombers to deliver nuclear payloads, and that’s when A.V This specific design reduced drag alongside providing exceptional lift and stability, two very crucial factors for high-altitude bombing. Roe & Company (Avro) came up with Avro Vulcan.

Winging It Aside from the aforementioned desire for a greater aspect ratio for reduced drag, the one-piece Gweduck wing was developed for minimal weight, ease of construction and benign handling. Keeping drag corralled was emphasized as the Gweduck mission is foremost long-distance cruising. Maintenance room is generally very good.
