They don't, but AoA is the critical factor , particularly near the stall and doesn't vary with weight. Didn't the Air Force go to AoA as the primary flight instrument in combat aircraft after losing a few F4s? I remember Burt Rutan did spin testing on those with spin recovery parachute attached. The chute let go on one occasion and they had to eject. Graham |
