the problem might be that faster airplanes have less lift coefficient or wing area in comparison to wingload/weight,so low speed is more dangerous to such airfoils and wing configurations than on a low wingloaded slow design…
so why nobody actually gets such an idea by seeing that data i don,t get it,…the correlations in thise statistics are blurred completely as it seems, as Canadian UL data shows that the accident rate of registered and insured but besides that completely identical ultralights in Canada, mostly low maintenance and often homebuilt is half of those of GA airplanes?♀️the basic ULs there don,t need any checks or whatever only registration and insurance and the only difference is 25 kilos/ m2 and minimum of 10 m2 wing area.l.l…which leads to bigger designs, but besides that the wing loading of Us UL standards is basically even lower! ?♀️i leanrt and compared that for more than a year alone in many designs and sices…
so most accidents even come from restrictive max. engine powers which lead to lack of climb out! but besides that a more heavy bird with 10 m2 than mostly minimum of 7 m2( below that an UL is technically more or less impossible even with the lightest engines, stall speed minimums give that limit…no chance for less, all others are wrongly classified experimentals with high wing loads and as far as i was able to get drawings and blueprints mostly a crap of zero calculated design features regarding G loads! nor safety) …
so not fast airpkanes crash more often but more easily with their small wings at low speed…its simpky always stall?♀️stall under rain, under crisswings, tight banks/turns, steep climbing, brainless testosterone behaviour( aerobatics as if every shit we buy MUST endure every overload…but nope, it doesn,t! ?♀️)
low floght is not dangerous sorry, but idioticly watwr skidding or sand skidding , zero planning…that is dangerous! and when low and slow YOU JEED A LOW WING LOAD AND HIGH LIFT SURFACE, WHICH CAN BE DESIGNED AND NOT TRIED OUT WITH SOME CRAPPY OLD RESALE FROM A GARAGE HOMEBUILT! )
so it.s behaviour and ignorance that leads to accidents! ?♀️using something inappropriate for hazzardous application or simply wrong usage…case closed. people should study more, read manuals, get a license or some training or the knowledge from lesewhere,
ttjanks for the statistics, but i assume those show US behavior a lot…ignorance leads to wrong expectations , lack of knowledge leads to such idiocies as STOL contests, sorry…lbut adter i learnt how to calculate lift in correlation to speed amd weight STOL competitions made zero sense to me and lost all reason for doing those,l.?♀️
