Take off in heavy rain - Citation V business jet!
The Citation V does not have windscreen wipers - not a good idea... (www.youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Interesting. I wouldn't drive my vehicle without wipers, as it's the slow speed periods that are problematical. Noted that the windscreen cleared once a high rate of knots was achieved.
2nd,3rd & 4th the comments so far. I'm just guessing that Guido doesn't spend a lot of time flying in Fl. or the tropics, if that is his version of heavy rain. Just couldn't stick around for the tight approach though, so I guess he made it. Spot on cheef, the blown windshield on Cessna jets works great for blowing the rain out of view. Probably 90% of the aircraft manufactured today don't have wipers Preach, your Boeing is showing. LOL
So is my CRJ.LOL
and the King Air
I surrender. Windshield wipers are king. Still stand by my original statement.
lol
The other thing to go along with that; if that's the best that heat or blowers will do, then I'll stay with my wipers. I never lost sight of any of the markings, but that's more crap than I want to see on my windscreen.
