Have been looking forward to this one...
The outcome was disappointing.. was expecting wind in the cockpit; and thats all
that really happened...
Drag went up 25kg at 100kt for a twin door departation and 17kg for a single
door
scenario... on both events the wind came into the cockpit!! It swirled around
and down into the footwells and rear luggage wells, where it swirled around
some more before shooting out straight up at the human head like an upper cut
---From both front an rear directions before flying out and over the rear of the
door frame... Anything left loose in the cockpit is getting sucked up and is
going out an opening after slapping the occupants in the head.. for a dual door
situation the swirl remains left and right sided; leaning one's head to the
centre and back may find a pool of calmness... A single door situation is more
exciting; the swirl comes up to the opening on a diagonal from the opposite side
hitting the human closest to the opening in the head from the front and rear
on the way out; anything left loose in the luggage well, shelf, footwell is
going out the opening after slapping the occupant in the face; the occupant can
be human dog or cat... a small dog like chihuahua is probably going out the
opening... a loose ipad; out the opening... and that's about it..
The aircraft is flyable without one or both doors but it won't be very pleasant
at all with 25-30kt winds swirling around like tornado....
Maybe some deflectors will improve a doorless situation...
