What are the main steps that required to solve the problems of aircraft flying high and at very large speed?
Answer:
There are various steps required to solve the problems of aircraft flying high and at very large speed are as follows:
► Build stiff wings that allow and provide the resistance to torsional diversion beyond the maximum speed of the aircraft.
► Use two sets of ailerons and one outboard pair that can be operated at low speeds.
► Use of one inboard pair that can be used to operate on high speeds, this will have less twisting impact when the ailerons are positioned outboard.
► Use spoilers that can be positioned independently or can be paired with ailerons. These reduce the lift on the down going wing by interrupting the airflow over the top surface.
