REFLECTOR: Fast Velocity

[Hiroo Umeno]

I am guessing that they can take off at 3,000lb with that 1,000hp back there.  I suspect that maximum landing weight is much less than that.

Yeah a 3,000 lb gross weight is way up there huh?

It would be nice if the factory could tell us what kind of modifications were made for speed and weight increases but Scott B's been mum so I assume they are operating under a non-disclosure.

They set the speed at 275 mph, so if they can do that with no flutter problems we might look to see what mods were done to achieve that even if only for safety...... Kind of a disappointment that they are going with the tricycle version, but looks like they have their hands full with a weight issue anyway- probably they will eventually graduate to something closer to the conceptual drawings sometime in the future.

You think the factory did anything to increase its Vne to 250 KIAS?
