Description (What the record is about)
-
This is a copy of the results of the trials by the US team: They were not impressed having to make constant throttle adjustment during climbing and landing. 'The climb was compromised by the delay in accelerating to best climb speed because of the 160 knot restriction during landing gear retraction and having to continuously make power adjustments due to insufficient governing by the engine controls.'
