Looked today ( Boat Choices)
I strongly
suspect that the same principle applies to nautical design and operation. except that aero engineers are seriously trained before let loose. naval architects are, for most all states, just people who claim to be naval architects. Badly designed airplanes never get on the runway, let alone airborne. Badly designed boats that float are boats that float. I have seen people who claim to be highly qualified naval architects claim that the "slot" between an overlapping jib and the main _increases_ lift, something no aero eng on the planet would say of a biwing aircraft. |
