Why did they ration the compression in the Atomic 4? Is compression
becoming a rare natural resource and needs to be doled out like
gasoline and rubber during the '40's?

Back in form I see, Jax. Posting ignorant statements about things you
know nothing of ... you are consistent anyway.

Leading and trailing edge devices on aircraft wings are not intended to
increase wing area. Leading edge devices, slats or slots, help to keep
the airflow attached to the wing boundary flow at high angles of attack.
Trailing edge devices, flaps, changes the angle at which airflow
leaves the wing, increasing lift.

Find a new subject, Jax, this is one more example of the thousands of
subjects in which you are totally lost.

actually, gasoline was rationed in WWII to conserve rubber.

ricky, for the kriste sakes. never, ever, under any circumstances ever again
open your stupid, ignorant totally ill-informed mouth on anything aeronautical
at all.

Apparently your grasp of history is every bit as authoritative as
your grasp of aerodynamics.

Gasoline was ration to conserve rubber

Very true Jax, you got it right!! Now tell us why it was lifted?

While you're at it, tell us old sailors how to the trim our sail to
maximize driving force according to "Newton's Laws of Motion"

Can we still use tel-tail as we did with Bernoulli's Theorem?

Tell us all, now that you admitted to increasing the curved surface (
making chord larger) to increasing lift at slower, speeds why this is
so? What happens?
Most of us; "Older Sailor" accept Newton's Law. We Hope you can
enlighten us to the whys

Ole Thom :^)

well, I just accepted the statements by the people who made the decision.

old fart, "chord" as the term is used in aeronautics, means a straight line.

Rick;

The Jax isn't totally lost, he just goes off on a tangent without enough
knowledge. Where ever he thinks he has found an exception to the
excepted norm is his favorite topic!

He is rather like a Tenor, in the Choir, singing off key. Hard on the
nerves but harmless.

Ole Thom

No Jax;

There are many, many straight line in aviation that are called just
that, and you know it.

You also know that "Chord" is used as a measurement in Airfoil
dimensions. Also used in Sail Trim.

However, that does't answer the question about Sail Trim for Newton's
Law, does it? That is the question that has been posed to you. How do us
"OLD SAILORS" know how to get the most out of sail trim adjusting for
Newton's Law. What do we look for as we adjust;
Halyard tension

Outhaul

Cunningham

Sheet tension

Vang tension

Slot position MAIN/JIB

We know these things affect the speed of the boat. How can we know how
to get the Max Effect? What do we look for?
We know those "Dumd Ass sialing to those Bernoulli postioned tel-tails
are going faster. Help us converts to Newtons Law.
