It features a forward-swept main wing, plus a smaller set of horizontal canard-style stabilizers mounted on the forward fuselage. The aircraft also has twin-boom vertical stabilizers to the rear and a monocoque cabin that can accommodate up to six passengers, plus the operating pilot.

Langley was particularly focused on structural loads, while Ames concentrated on dynamic stability. Although the B-47A appeared structurally sound upon arrival, flight testing revealed notable shortcomingsparticularly buffeting issues that limited both its top speed and achievable lift. The average gross weight was 115,000 pounds.

Noting that the application of fertilizer and other chemicals often corroded a conventional tail, Pellarini simply attached two tail booms that each carried its own horizontal stabilizer and elevator. While these acted as one, they were not joined at the center. Of course, speed is not the goal of this kind of aircraft. Photo: Warner Bros.

After a few seconds, Ill lift the tail and then add full power. Max Gross Weight: 2,200 lbs. Empty Weight, Standard: 1,300 lbs. Waghorn laughed and said as soon as youre stabilized, full power, and lets try again, now that you see what Im talking about. Ill accelerate and rotate at 80, and pitch for 100.

With 10 passengers and luggage on board the airplane, it was well under gross weight, but it soon became apparent we could not out climb the ice buildup. The Twin Otter is very powerful, but its fixed landing gear, wing struts and various hinges, plus the thick high lift wing gave lots of places for the ice to accumulate.

Lift : The aerodynamic force generated due to airflow over the wings. Weight : The force gravity exerts on the aircraft. The aircraft’s deceleration reduces the airflow over the wings, which reduces lift. When the lift force is less than the force of gravity, the aircraft descends. Why does this happen?
