Hey, wait a minute,  You're the guy that said, " The airplane doesn't FEEL the wind."

Remember how dead the list was 4 days ago?  This stuff, no matter how distasteful to some, gives us great subject matter. I do a lot of chuckling throughout all of this stuff.
I love you guys !

  Simple physics tells us moving the center of lift inboard ( more taper ) will benefit flying in turbulent conditions. As a side note, since turbulence is fractal, speed will benefit.

  Back to subject, and question. Directionally it appears the less directionally stable the airplane the less change in direction due to a gust. We prefer the airplane moves over without a change in direction.

  Where and how do we draw the line on direction stability ?
