On the other hand is there any aerodynamic 'theorist' who has explicit flight knowledge of the aircraft in question - Zippo 
So who are we to trust in this scenario - I'll take pilot experience any day, tempered with a bit of common sense
The biggest difference on all aircraft designs was that Kurt Tank, was a pilot, beside FW190 design engineer.. 
Yup.. I'll still stick with Gaston's theory |
It's not a good idea to stick with a theory that ignores 80% of the facts and misinterprets another 15%.
