Hey Jim,
Comments on the "Final Thought".
I think an inflight tuft test with a chase plane
using a digital camera would be best.
Just make sure the fan is off and C/B
pulled.
Passengers tend to tell you what you want to hear.
"How's the temp?? Oh, I'm fine." even though they're
freezing/roasting.
"Looking for more cooling" you say???
Regards the cutting holes in the
fuselage---
Martin H. was asked about the holes, and his
remarks were immediate.
Martin's most
interesting comment was that the frequency of the tail cone is
changed when
you add or subtract material in that area and that people who make these changes
without conducting flutter analysis are asking for trouble.
One high
speed pass and a wing over is not a test
program.
One last comment, do you recall a recent
service bulletin that talked about fasteners on the fuselage access panel?
It seems some have gone to Hinges and dzus fasteners and other devices that do
not carry the load. The company was saying that this panel is
structure and should be attached as structure.
