Libel Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I've seen this mentioned a lot as a term when it comes to aircraft, and I'm assuming it's to do with airflow over the wings. Can anyone clarify this for me?Ta,

Finkeren Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Only thing I can think of (in relation to aircraft) is when you're dumping ordinance that's too dangerous to land with.
Feathered_IV Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I think its got something to do with the relief tube.
Cybermat47 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I think its got something to do with the relief tube. Which, funnily enough, would also result in effective ordanance to bombard enemies with.
Dakpilot Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Have heard used "Lift dumpers" "dumping lift" - reference to lift negating devices (Spoilers) (Airbrakes) (landing flap lift dump), as visible on Airliners wing after touchdown (example) "Dumping the flaps" - poor slang for dropping flaps Cheers Dakpilot
Wulf Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Only ever heard the word used, where aircraft are concerned, in relation to the release of fuel - for example, prior to an emergency landing.
6./ZG26_Custard Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I want to know what this 666666 business is that you see in chat a fair bit on the Russian servers?
-TBC-AeroAce Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 its just a generic term for lowering or dropping something. IM Dumping flaps/gear/....
Cybermat47 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I want to know what this 666666 business is that you see in chat a fair bit on the Russian servers? Maybe they worship Satan?
Finkeren Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I want to know what this 666666 business is that you see in chat a fair bit on the Russian servers? I always assumed it was people warning others to check their six, when they can't see who it is that's in danger?
ShamrockOneFive Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I want to know what this 666666 business is that you see in chat a fair bit on the Russian servers? Pretty common online... a panicked version of "Check your 6"
Dakpilot Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Interesting example of Lift dumping flaps in action (not the more usual spoilers) Cheers Dakpilot
6./ZG26_Custard Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Maybe they worship Satan? Satan don't fly Yaks!
