| Jan 24, 2022 at 7:30 | comment | added | Jpe61 | Wouldn't tanks (with fuel in them) in the wings help the wing to widthstand the load factor? Assuming the said fuel would otherwise be stored in the fuselage? | |

| Jan 23, 2022 at 20:31 | comment | added | Peter Kämpf | To be honest, those sailplanes have by far smaller minimum turn radii than any fighter due to their much lower wing loading. | |
