Re: X1 quistion for you
If I recall right they were able to steer the plane at buffeting region near mach .84 not with elevator but adjusting the trim that turned the whole stabilizer few degrees into each direction...am I of the course now ?Originally posted by h34race
It is all in the Yaeger's book. I think you got it right.Comment
