When the plane is in a steep bank in a sharp turn, wouldn't the speed of the outside tip be closer to the speed of the inside tip than when the bank isn't so steep? What was the result of the sharp turn/stall speed discussion? Isn't that the important consideration here? -- Scott Wiesner {allegra, ucbvax, cornell}!nbires!scott
