The missile launcher and the trailing edges of the flaps and aileron took most of the damage. |
As opposed to crabbing into the wind on final, use aileron to lean the aircraft into the wind. |
The aircraft rolls a bit to the left and he compensates by adding some right aileron to hold the 30-degree bank angle. |
An aileron booster system used the main system hydraulic pressure to supplement the pilot's pressure on the control column. |
The wing also features three sets of vortex generators on the outboard wing to improve aileron response at high angles of attack. |
Once the airplane reaches a high enough altitude, the water freezes, affecting the operation of an aileron control bearing. |
