EricJ Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 For those not averse to Facebook vids, the Flite Test guys decided to fly a Mooney backwards. Almost "worked". https://www.facebook.com/flitetest/videos/325681572713853 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Lloyd Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Unexpected laugh near the end. Uh, the end of the video. The back end. Not to be confused with the beginning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will.iam Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 In the end he just made a canard plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Check the power to weight ratio of that plane… At full scale, that experiment probably requires a 1000hp engine…. Wait a sec… is that Peter Stripol? Peter that makes weird experiments fly…. He added a clear tail that is hard to see… But didn’t bother to rotate the wing to face forwards…. I was expecting to see something about the backwards tail is actually forward facing…. Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steingar Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 You can easily make. Mooney fly backwards if you've sufficient wind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
