Very interesting. Thank you. 1st time viewer. New subscriber. Looking for a career 2.0 and have always wanted to fly (fixed wing and multi-engine/IFR and helicopter). Good for you!!!!
Hello, thank you for the video.To confirm my understanding...on cessna's, the positive g design is around 3.8g. So the Va will ensure an AOA of approx 5 degrees?
@@Loves2Flythink about it. What speed could the plane safely fly if it weighed a billion pounds? Would the speed be greater, or less, if the plane weighed 1500 pounds? Angle of attack is immaterial, all that matters is the load on the wing. The accelerometer, or g meter, in the plane does not indicate the load on the wing, if the weight is able to be varied between flights. A billion pound plane would indicate zero g, and yet the wings would be ripped off as it descended. Planes should have strain gauges that indicate whether the wing, etc., are near the overload threshold.
