[QUOTE]Originally posted by Woodside Kid: [QB] The situation I had been thinking of was the question of stability in aircraft design. You'd want a passenger plane to be inherently stable to give it the tendency to return to straight and level flight after a maneuver. On the other hand, you design a fighter with an inherent instability. That gives you the maneuverability and quick response for combat, but it comes with the proviso that if you get yourself into a high-g maneuver, you better get that plane back to level flight before you black out. Otherwise, you're in a very expensive lawn dart. [/QB][/QUOTE]
