More weight for the wheel brakes to work.
Bingo. Flaps generate lift... makes the airplane lighter. Dump the flaps and there's lots more weight there to stop the wheels from skidding.... more bite.More weight for the wheel brakes to work.
Large commercial aircraft function that way. They are equipped with auto-spoilers and autobrakes, as well as thrust reversers. As soon as weight on wheels is detected, the spoilers automatically deploy, killing the lift. The flaps can't move fast enough to get stowed before the end of the runway, so the spoilers do it. When on a commercial flight where you can see the wings, watch on landing. You'll see the spoilers pop up as soon as you feel the tires touch, then the captain deploys reverse thrust.Bingo.

Reduce lift?Nope.
Yup, read back at the top of the page. Marty called it.Reduce lift?
I'm always a day late and a dollar short. I guess I'll never be quick enough for "Jim's Jeopardy".Yup, read back at the top of the page. Marty called it.
Cool you get to taxi those beasts. I taxi d my brother's 2 place ultra light after a couple of beers. Goosed the 36 hp rotax and an accidental 10 feet elevation never seemed so high.I looked at the XB70 and wondered what that might be like to taxi into the gate. The captain's seat is about 70 feet in front of the nose wheels. I used to feel challenged to taxi an L1011 into the gate with similar, but far less extreme configuration.

In the full sized German machines they found, I have read, that the lateral shock waves from the pipe rapidly caused fatigue in adjacent structure of airplane, unless the pipe extended beyond the structure. In the model, and yes it's impressive!, this design is not followed. I'd be interested to know how long the model lives, but well, it's not going to get so many hours and it may be made from forgiving materials. Still, it would be nice to know more about how it works out.Holy Cow! Insanely Big and Fast, RC model plane
Hey jan! dual disk is not necessary. a soft set of telescopic forks will do it. Rocker/swingarm forks are better in this regard. Endo is hard on the knees...and can be done at quite modest speeds. I run 40W in my XS forks, and they're still a bit soft. If up to me I chose cable and drum, and foot clutch (easier on old guy arthritis). "Electronics"? Never heard of him... No trust...Heard that of Motorcycles Modern bikes have double discs in the front and can lift the rear wheel
First apply brakes back and then thereafter more on the front .
But then you have to let go of the rear brake or it can loose grip and the rear end comes sideways.
Speedway style
Not quick enough the wheel can catch and send you up in the air on a Highside
Loosing the rear wheel grip can be saved if alert But loosing the front wheel grip if immediately pull full braking in front.
And is is more difficult especially in a corner bike falls over on the low Side ..
Electronics helps if it works
