it wouldnt really be the problem that the engine failed(they are designed to run on one engine) the problem is the big flap of metal on top that is dragging down that side of the plane
it slows that side of the plane down, so the plane would be twisting sideways alittle bit and up alittle bit
the pilot just has to make a few ajustment with the flaps and what not and he flying normaly again, just alittle slower
yeah, it would be going slower on that side of the plane, but it would not be forcing it down, it would be pulling it up, which is what ive been telling you!
yeah mike-v10 i agree, its the same way that an airplane creates lift, it is a longer (harder) distance for the air to go over the wing (due to its curvature) so it goes under and builds pressure. this added hindrance on top of the plane would only force more air under the wing causing more lift and in turn forcing that side of the airplane to rise up.
agreed, although it will produce a serious amount of drag and make the engine less efficient. its nothing a bit of ducktape couldnt fix..and believe me..your aloud to do that.
then the engine would fail and all the fuel would be diverted to the other engine and the tab's would be re-set to allow the plane to maintain a level flying position..simple!
quite right ...and in case of fire it will simply poured out in case it will catch fire. Fuel tanks are based in wings and the last thing you wanna get is to set your wing on fire ^__^
