Hello aviators! My name is Magnar Nordal, and I’m an ATR instructor and captain. Welcome to another in-depth exploration of the ATR aircraft. Today, we’ll address two key comments regarding the ATR 72's wing design and performance: Wing washout and why it is not a supercritical wing.
After releasing my previous video discussing the ATR 72’s wing size, wing loading, and how it outperforms competitors in the 70-80 seat category, I received insightful comments from viewers. Let’s dive into the details, backed by aerodynamics and operational experience.
