Windmilling on the NGX

Recommended Posts

I would like to know if she is going to have realistic windmilling effects on the ground?

It's what a windmill does. Engines do the same if there is enough wind.Look here. Cheers.

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.

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.

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

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