Slipstream Experiments

[MarkH]

Some time ago I had an idea that it might be cool to hook up some fans to the turn co-ordinator to produce realistic side-slip and skid effects. Well...

nice idea - great for any open cockpit

I wonder how quickly the new Dyson fans spool up and if they would be less distracting having no visible blades....

Well done video MarkH.

Nice computer setup as well.



Heywoood, good point.

Those Dyson fans are brilliant. Expensive, but brilliant... I was showing my brother those things at a BestBuy. I asked him what they were, and he just looked for several min's. Then I had him put his hand in the airflow and he couldnt figure out how the wind was being produced, lol...

Cool technologies...
