    MolaKule Q&A on Aircraft Structures VI WIngs

    Thanks for all of the answers and explanations. So what we have learned is that ailerons and flaperons can control the aircraft's roll. For commercial aircraft, the flaperons tend to be used for minor roll correction at cruise to ensure a smooth flight, controlled by the autopilot.

    SAE30 ND used in mower with oil filter

    ND oil has no anti-wear or other protective additives; it has only a small amount of anti-foam. Not good for any IC engine.

    Which is easier to blend: 10w-30 or 15w-40?

    Rerefined oils are mostly Group II and are not necessarily cheaper for reasons I have explained in other threads. As for quality, I think rerefined oils are of equal quality as mainline refined oils. Rerefined oils with a quality DI package are on par with other formulated oils using Group II bases.

    Okay folks, let's keep politics out of this thread or it will be closed. We don't need to know your party affiliation.

    MolaKule Q&A on Aircraft Structures VI WIngs

    On the G500/550 series we still had a differential data bus and had not graduated to fiber as yet for fly by wire at the time I was involved in the project. We had developed a Synthetic Vision System option for it.

    Manufacturing during WW2

    My mom was one of many testers who did final testing at the Sherman tank factory before delivery. She said firing the cannon at the target range was awesome.

    MolaKule Q&A on Aircraft Structures VI WIngs

    Slats and Flaps decrease the stall speed for landing and takeoff. Slats are integrated into the leading edge of the wing with links whereas flaps are integrated into the trailing edge of the wing. Both are moveable and may slide or point downward at an angle when deployed. Slats, flaps, and...

    MolaKule Q&A on Aircraft Structures VI WIngs

    Lift assist and other devices are attached to a wing to improve the performance of the aircraft in different flight regimes. Name a wing device that increases lift at takeoff and landing. Name a wing device that assists in the braking of the aircraft upon landing.

    Three 0w-16 choices I am considering next.

    Not the correct type of solvent and not enough to remove deposits.

    Alkylated Naphthalenes with Willi Gartner (King Industries)

    Just remember that each base oil type has its advantages and disadvantages. No one base oil type can do it all.

    Three 0w-16 choices I am considering next.

    Apparently, for the 2023 Honda Pilot, the recommended engine oil is an SAE 0W20 synthetic engine oil. A 5W20 is the next step up as both are 20 grades. A 0W30 will work but you may suffer a slight mpg decrease. I would recommend the Severe Service schedule for oil change and filter intervals.
