kidicarus5897 is an unknown quantity at this point
Default

So say we take off at 53131LBS in an XR, with Yariv's rough, albiet excellent example, we are actually flying a 54,131Lb (all must be carried by the wings) so where does this weight get put in? Obviously it is not an issue because the max weights we use are derrived from flight tests while experiencing the tail-down force.
