Hiro Protagonist Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) The Vodka Burner is rolling........we have Smirnoff Damn I forgot how UGLY Candid's were. Scary thing is that the IL76 is supposed to be rated for short/unprepared runways. Edited March 1, 2008 by Hiro Protagonist Quote
dfunkt Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 Good thing it wasn't loaded i thought it was fully loaded.... Quote

What about the Ekranoplan i thought it was fully loaded.... Wing tips are still pointing downwards while its flying. Edited March 1, 2008 by towe001 Quote
Hiro Protagonist Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) What about the Ekranoplan Ekranoplans are awesome, they look like they're from another planet, or at least the future The Candid's fuselage just looks like something that was half-way out when the phone rang.

Redwarf Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Posted March 1, 2008 Wing tips are still pointing downwards while its flying. The only way they'll point upwards on one of those things is if it flys upside down. :D Its called an "anhedral' wing. The wing tips point down from the fuselage. (Read me, aircraft geeks!) What you're thinking of is called "dihedral", which is where the wing tips are above the wing root. This is the most common type of wing that one sees. 737NG's have around 6 feet of flex ( and hence upward movement in flight) in the wings. Anhedrals tend to be quite stiff, mainly to maintain the angles required. That 76 was chock full of gear and most likely all the tax payer funded fuel they could fit on. :wink: Quote
camerondownunder88 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 ^^ depends on plane little to LOADS for landing. ALso THAT is what I call a flexi take off. I think the el-capitano forgot to carry the 1 in his calculation for flexi take off as man he is right ont he piano keys..lol Cameron Quote

I guess after watching the video again you can't really tell if the wings are bending or not Quote
