I understand their test plane does not leading edge slats, but does have slotted flaps, so max cL is about 50% x 1.5 plus 50% 2.8 = max cL of about 2. What that tells me is that the new wings generate 2.6 x 2 = 5. So... distributed propulsion can raise the cL from 2 to 5. Is it really that much?!?!?!? | |
