| Joe Grant, jrg.sunimagineering.inc(@)rogers.com, 08.03.2010 I've just received a copy of your excellant coverage of the world's aircraft.I would like to take issue with the first 3 comments about the Q-400. The desighn of this aircraft had absolutely nothing to do with accountants,but was a natural improvement to the existing Dash 8 family of aircraft. The stretch also involved a span increase as well as extensive testing in natural icing. It is the safest aircraft flying as far as flight into icing is concerned.The crash in NY was entirely due to pilot incompetence(as noted by the US National Transportation Safety Board), Retired Chief, Propulsion Systems,deHavilland Division, Bombardier Aerospace | | L Rudnicki, leo_rudnicki(@)hotmail.com, 03.04.2009 When accountants design aircraft,they look like this. It is a stretch. Seat/mile/$$$$$. | | Ralph, motobloc(@)live.com, 17.02.2009 I too would question the configuration of the wings. They appear to be absolutely minimal in size. This might work well in good weather conditions, but the accumulation of ice would easliy change their shape and ability to produce lift. | | Ken Wirth, kennbev(@)sbcglobal.net, 14.02.2009 After the crash of the Dash 8 in New York last night I question also the apparent size of the wing. I am not an aircraft engineer, but the wing appears to be two narrow to support the fuselage? | | ignacio, ignaciopr2(@)hotmail.com, 16.11.2007 I would like to have a photo from de propeller.
