[NSRCA-discussion] Turbulence

[Nat Penton]

I never will get this repair completed <G>. Maybe I can explain this. Wind is air motion relative to the ground. The airplane is unaffected by this motion.

You are straining my gray matter, LOL                                     Nat

  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 ?
