Perhaps the plane was actually designed to fly with the winglets intact; perhaps it had its wing modified slightly to accommodate wind tunnel testing results from the winglets; perhaps the entire aircraft, wings and winglets included, were designed for something called symmetry and perhaps, further, to have "drag" on both wings not only symmetrical but unspoiled with sharp appurtanances, the result of the crash, creating additionally disturbed airflow over the pieces exposed to the air at speed -- on one side of the aircraft and not the other. Perhaps YOU sir might wish to climb aboard that craft. I myself would not wish to do so. I am not interested in becoming a unpaid commercial experiment.<BR/><BR/>BZBloviating Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359816456769157176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-89235381179088884112007-11-05T09:13:00.000-08:002007-11-05T09:13:00.000-08:00Yeah, so um..
