Understood, I did not know that the talk pages were also for serious discussion. I will not start topics that are not necessary, such as the one I have made in the Elephant's Foot Talk Page. I will still have some humor in my discussions, however they will still be related and respectful.
I am sorry and I will quit this behavior. understood, and thank you. Taffy boeing b 17 (talk) 16:32, 1 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:General Aviation Yields

edit
 

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing hoaxes, such as Draft:General Aviation Yields, is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

Wing loading

edit

Hi Taffy! I saw your question about Wing loading. (I am like you - I like airplanes!)

The designers of most airplanes are keen to reduce drag, especially in cruise. They do this by keeping the wing area as small as possible so long as stalling speed is not too high. Designers can keep the stalling speed low enough during take-off by using large wing flaps that increase the wing area but can be retracted after take-off to reduce the wing area. As the wing area is reduced as the flaps retract, the wing loading increases to its maximum value for the cruise phase.

There are some other advantages to a higher wing loading, and some disadvantages, but for most airplane designs the most important consideration is drag during the cruise and the desire to keep cruise drag low so the airplane can cruise at the fastest speed, and travel the maximum distance for the fuel carried.

Thank you! so they can have more range and less drag, but they can't turn as well, which is fine for an airliner. thx for the info! <3 Taffy boeing b 17 (talk) 15:31, 17 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
