Summary
256 Max talks with Catherine Cavagnaro about aviation factors that increase by the square of airspeed or height above ground. These include lift, turning radius, and landing distance. Noise at the ground also decreases by the square of the height above ground. Max also shares a story of a pilot who nearly killed him and about a way that a person can unchain an aircraft when it’s parked on an incline.
