hyper_snyper - 8/7/2007 4:32 PMIt's sort of space related, 787 derived avionics are going into the CEV. OK, that's a stretch. Anyway, I'll be watching.
MySDCUserID - 9/7/2007 12:30 AMcould you post that direct link? I can't seem to find it.
MySDCUserID - 9/7/2007 12:36 AMhmm... it's not working for me.
Lee Jay - 8/7/2007 7:43 PMDoes anyone have an explanation as to why the thing has so much dihedral?
vt_hokie - 8/7/2007 9:31 PMIn the case of the 777, wasn't the reason for the large dihedral angle as simple as providing clearance for its large engines?
oscar71 - 9/7/2007 7:08 PMWell, to makes this thread a little space friendly...has the creation of the 787 proven that space vehicles or rockets made of composites can be feasible?
vt_hokie - 8/7/2007 11:31 PMIn the case of the 777, wasn't the reason for the large dihedral angle as simple as providing clearance for its large engines? I'm sure there's more to it, though, and I'll defer to someone more knowledgeable in aerodynamics.
Antares - 9/7/2007 9:06 PMNo, dihedral is a roll stability thing. Engine clearance mostly dictates length of the landing gear. Sometimes it can size the rudder due to the need to land one-engine-inop.
