- Read what AOPA has to say (pdf)
Dynamics
- Double parasitic drag on the aircraft.
- Decrease lift.
- Minimize assymetric lift and drag reducing likleyhood of entering a spin.
- Increases wing loading and smooths the aircraft response to turbulence.
- Decreases lift allowing for better control in crosswinds and assists with braking.
