So, wings with a greater aspect ratio and surface area, the lifting device for the whole aircraft, have less lift capability than the airfoils with less than a quarter of their size?
I suppose trebor and weedwhacker will agree with you here as well.
Wow.... too funny.

The tail has a greater moment arm in relation to the Cg than than the wings do if the tail is actually creating positive lift instead of negative. when the aircraft is trimmed. If the aircraft goes to a higher speed the aircraft will feel divergent. So yes lift of tail plus moment arm equals more lift than wing.

Very good Waypastvne!
You should explain that to Xtrozero -
(you should also read the thread when you return as you just threw Xtrozero under the bus)

would the US government not allow a F15 pilot (if it were ordered) to shoot down the airliner at BVR ?, should be easy enough to accomplish which would make the 10 miles an mute point.

About learning about aerodynamics, you state manufactures set the limits, the aircraft dynamics set the limit and the manufactures work their limits round the performance of the aircraft in whole, then they and a safety margin. so your V diagrams will all be out.
your disinfo website doesnt work, and doesnt have a number 4 on it when i looked, guess its by one of these "experts" that you have, they cant use a simple web program to put up a static page, but they can tell you the wonders of aircraft dynamics etc.
And stop asking for a pilot to come forward about flying at 150+ VMO, it is very rarely that a commercial pilot would encounter this situation, and would only doing so in an extreme emergency,
for your theory on tail design look here

....and the ignorant middle eastern men who could magically fly a sophisticated air liner through complicated maneuvers with the help of Allah...
Please let us know when you find one verified pilot willing to support your claims that it is "easy" to control a 767 at Vmo+150, Va+220 --and pull G's-- for a pilot with less experience than one who couldn't control a 172 at 65 knots. Please let us also know when you have any type of evidence for your argument other than assumption or "Because the govt told me so..."

Well, it appears everyone enjoyed their Labor Day weekend.
Lets catch up, shall we?
Then study the report on Egypt Air 990 as compared to the above diagram. EA990 suffered in flight structural failure at 5 knots into the red "Structural Failure" zone.

Lifting capacity is more dependant on area and airfoil section for any given speed. Big fat thick wing like a DC-3 is high lift but also high drag.
I don't know why there is still an argumnt about flying at VMO+ 150. Either the proponents can find someone who has done it (they can't) or they will not produce such a person. I have never heard of anyone doing it, and that is in 45 year aviation career.
Pieces falling off, flutter, mach tuck, compressibility, flight control reversal, divergent PIOs or phugoid oscillations, etc.
I have done the mach tuck drills in the sims and that sudden red screen gets your attention.
And somebody is claiming mach tuck only applies to T-tails! I think they are confused about other T-tail problems like the icing problems that are peculiar to T-tails and the "deep stall" issue. Or they may be extropolating from the fact that Learjets, which are T-tailed, are particularly susceptible to tuck, to state that only T-tailed aircraft have the problem. That's simply wrong. The North American Sabre 40 (conventional tail)will tuck.

So what do you think the speed of the airplane was at 16,000 feet when it pasted .86 mach at 31,000 feet (I’m sure it was well past design limits, and most likely close or well past 500 knots), BUT it still pulled out of the descent and climbed to 24,000 feet. How does this match up with pilotsfor911truth official statement “Egypt Air 990, a 767 which exceeded it's maximum operating limits causing in-flight structural failure”?
At 0150:23, the airspeed reached its peak calculated value of 0.99 Mach, as the airplane descended through about 22,200 feet msl.

That means the speed did not go any higher. It couldn't go any faster in the dive.
In a few posts above I asked TiffanyInLA to once again explain this and so maybe you can help her since she seems to just ignore it.
