June 10, 201114 yr I would like to know if she is going to have realistic windmilling effects on the ground? Peter Osborn

June 10, 201114 yr I don't think so. Ryan can explain why. :(As robert said, yes. And Ryan had actually explained back in January how it was modeled...sort of Ryan Gamurot
June 10, 201114 yr Windmilling effect?? Someone can explane what that is?Ryan or Robert?? :(It's what a windmill does. Engines do the same if there is enough wind.Look here. Cheers.

June 10, 201114 yr Commercial Member On the ground, not really, no. Hopefully the wind is not blowing that fast.That's also not mentioning that, even if it was, the aircraft is normally parked at a gate, which has a terminal of a pretty good height in front of it, blocking most, if not all of the wind. The fan will still spin, but the wind still won't be fast enough to do much other than spin it. It's actually kind of interesting in that a lot of them sound like tumblers when they spin.

June 10, 201114 yr HA!Does Windmilling create power though? "A life is like a garden.

June 10, 201114 yr HA!Does Windmilling create power though?It doesn't. It's similar to idling in a car if a jet engine does it. No energy is being produced to move the plane forward.Windmills in and of themselves use a series of gears and levers to do the work they were designed to do (pump water, mill wheat, etc.). It's a relatively simple mechanical system, but is prone to breakdowns. Frank Grivel Intel i5-2500K CPU, 8GB DDR3-1600 RAM (9-9-9-23), 1TB HDD, Nvidia 560Ti GTX, 700W PSU
June 10, 201114 yr Lol guys, I'm not joking but I live in the polder here and if you take off from Lelystad - EHLE, you see a "sea of windmills" I'm not exaggerating but I think you will see a few hundred's of windmills Steven Albi
June 10, 201114 yr Gents-Yes.hahahahahahahahaha, I dunno why but that is the funniest post Iv seen from Rob. He normally gives out great loads of details for little things but this time its just "Yes" Joe Barton

There's a difference. In Delft we have 1 windmill and a few windturbines around the Technische Universiteit.
