Aircraft Propellor Driven

I have my bi-annual coming up in February and am looking for a new single?
Any suggestions as to an interesting single-engined, propellor-driven aircraft that might be fun to get a signoff on? I've thought of ducks and taildraggers...any others?
By obtaining a 'signoff' in an aircraft, you would satisfy the BFR. No certified instructor is going to sign your flight log without assuring himself you're a capable pilot in the type he's initialling!
I would definitely suggest that you get your sign-off in a taildragger - they are a lot of fun, but will require more the a BFR to get used to landing the aircraft. We had a Citabria on the line at the flight school I used to work at and everyone that flew it loved it!

Steady Aircraft Flight and Performance $32 This undergraduate textbook offers a unique introduction to steady flight and performance for fixed-wing aircraft from a twenty-first-century flight systems perspective. Emphasizing the interplay between mathematics and engineering, it fully explains the fundamentals of aircraft flight and develops the basic algebraic equations needed to obtain the conditions for gliding flight, level flight, climbing and descending flight, and turning flight. It covers every aspect of flight performance, including maximum and minimum air speed, maximum climb rate, minimum turn radius, flight ceiling, maximum range, and maximum endurance.Steady Aircraft Flight and Performance features in-depth case studies of an executive jet and a general aviation propeller-driven aircraft, and uses MATLAB to compute and illustrate numerous flight performance measures and flight envelopes for each. Requiring only sophomore-level calculus and physics, it also includes a section on translational flight dynamics that makes a clear connection between steady flight and flight dynamics, thereby providing a bridge to further study.Offers the best introduction to steady aircraft flight and performanceProvides a comprehensive treatment of the full range of steady flight conditionsCovers steady flight performance and flight envelopes, including maximum and minimum air speed, maximum climb rate, minimum turn radius, and flight ceilingUses mathematics and engineering to explain aircraft flightFeatures case studies of actual aircraft, illustrated using MATLABSeamlessly bridges steady flight and translational flight dynamicsN. Harris McClamroch is professor of aerospace engineering at the University of Michigan. He has been an educator and researcher in flight dynamics and control for more than forty years. |

Cave of Wunders: Gizmos & Gadgets: Propeller-Driven Airplane Part 1
Are computer programmers so crash hot ?
To increase the recommended speed of an aircraft, or boat or submarine or car or train, wouldn't you need to do a complete redesign (of motor, propellor, rails, fuel, whatever) ?
Wouldn't it be "cheaper" to outsource the work to a "programmer" or a "CIO".
The programmer could simply modify caveats on the system so that the system allows a faster speed. There might be no consideration of whether the system can safely drive at the speed now allowed.
Safe is the keyword.
Because of regulations by government and checks by news agencies, and public relations, companies dont exactly want their jets blowing up mid air because the engine was being pushed beyond its limit. The company would be out of business within days if it was found out it was due to a purposeful design.
