Re: Sparrow strainer stall conundrum

Just playing catch up on the last two weeks of frantic Q-LIST activity….

OMG, Michael, the “Mad Rocket Scientist” (Drew) is a nice enough guy but he’s wrong fully ninety percent of the time when it comes to his discussions of aircraft stability and control. Even the animated graphic you point to is wrong.

<Rocket Scientist> != <Aeronautical Engineer>

 

Caveat Emptor.

PS: When encountering any prototype aircraft bearing the moniker “Raptor,” run away! Run away!! LOL

Anthony, I believe what you are talking about is an elevator slot, similar to a slotted flap? Jay's proposed elevator design is plain-flap style, unlike the R1145MS which does make use of an elevator slot for improved performance (see animation about halfway down this page).
