- Bob Kuczewski in 2013 forwarded the idea and graphic.
- Bob Kuczewski on Dec. 11, 2013 noted:
"There are some problems with this idea ... in particular, since the
mass of the pilot is generally much greater than the mass of the wing,
the wing will not likely stay fixed as shown in the diagram (although
aerodynamic forces help slow the wing's rotation much more than they
slow pilot's rotation). But it might be another puzzle piece to trigger
a better idea in someone else's brain."
-
BillC notices and BobK confirms that conservation of angular momentum
will have the pilot's head reach toward the keel faster. Though the head
might be short of the nose whack, the acceleration to the keel would be
something to face.
