RE: Wheels Spinners
Bhoy the Russians attatched the fins in the spokes section of the wheels.
RE: Wheels Spinners
This has been tried before Kelly….first by the Russians while carrying out various new techniques and tactics in there Il 86 ‘Maxdome’ varient which was supposed to be shielded against nuclear explosions. During its initial stages…..fins WERE attatched to it for experiments, but the Russians dropped the idea for it according to them was affecting the performence of balancing the speed during landings, also during take-offs it was tending to reduce speeds…..although by a small margin.
Some new features by the Russians in there Maxdome(not the real ASCC code name)were a drogue housing for VHF trailing wire antenna(the Boeing E-4B also uses one which is approx. 8 km long). Also it is known the under carriage pods of the Maxdome carry electricty generators!
