(1-800-827-6364) Subject: Re: AKA's 18th Annual Convention Workshops & Seminars Practical Aerodynamic Research & Application: the Bent Stick Theory. Okay, seeing that Frank has spilled the beans, here is a sample question >From the test paper. Question 7. (5 minutes) a] Using the shoes of Mickey Mouse, demonstrate how they would fly. Don't forget to use all relevant equations, such as Lift/Drag to weight ratios, Shoe width versus length, entry angle and maximum chord height, as well as chord distribution across toe width. Demonstrate both as a framed kite and a soft kite, and compare. b] Demonstrate how Minnie's shoes would not be as efficient. (i.e. negative angle of attack) c]Extrapolate the Bent Stick Theory as it pertains to both of the above. Answers: (10 points) Pseudo Intellectual: Who cares ! Correct Answer: EEEEEEEEEEK, A MOUSE ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Call an exterminator ! ! ! WHACK, whack, . . .. whack,. . . . . whack,. . . . WHACK ! Oh damn, my stick's bent. Hey, just the right dihedral for an Eddy, great ! Remember, NO study period, No apple for the teacher, No homework !
