Has anyone taken a look at the implications of of fitting conventional
landing gear to the Europa?
for:
-variable flap settings
-tamer runway behaviour
-more space (see above) or an extra fuel tank
-differential brakes
against:
-new landing gear mount
-possible reduced soft/rough field performance
-slower cruise/efficiency
Anyone care to put some numbers to this?
Happy new year to all
