Surely, you're utterly wrong. One takeoff can easily put enough bugs on the leading edge to destroy laminar flow. Heavy bug loads on the leading edge can easily increase drag by 30% over a clean wing. Glider pilots use mechanical wipers to remove the bugs in flight. Waviness of more than .005 inch is needed to maintain laminar flow. Once the flow becomes turbulent, drag rises considerably. Just washing the wings on the ground won't help.

It's not weight, it's maintaining laminar flow. It only takes very small objects to turbulate the boundary layer, increasing drag considerably.

Sailplanes have used mechanical bug wipers for many years.

Ah, another micro dick racist wanker eh? Go away pathetic weenie.

Your just another idiotic American gun nut. We who live in places where idiots aren't armed pity your delusions.

You just know this thread will be full of denialist crap, repeating the same debunked talking points.

Thanks, I nearly understand now! I'm no rocket surgeon!

Another denialist half wit. You morons are fiddling while the world burns.

What you don't understand is the harm the diseases prevented cause. Way more than vaccines do. You sound like a typical anti vax moron.

Way to prove the posters point about bigotry. What a dumbfuck. Which part of the US are you from, such idiocy usually comes from Americans.

Modded down for telling the truth apparently

It's obvious the islamaphobe AC is the biogt here, using the same tired lies and distortions. Yawn, another fuckin idiot.

NASCAR, some gay American race where they go round an oval track? Pathetic, F1 is real racing, NASCAR is racing for redneck incompetents who can only turn one way.

Reality is a bitch huh, we don't allow the average moron in Australia to have guns either, thank goodness. Americans really are stupid when it comes to guns.
