LSA to get a weight/speed increase

[jetjr]

I think US LSA has max cruise speed, and stall speed is "clean" ie a reasonable bit slower than AU

PoterooIf removing the max speed numbers is helping someone/anyone, how about removing that Anti safety "wing loading" number for 95-10 aircraft !,

Haveing a good strong aircraft must out-way (6+ 6-G) having a flimsy aircraft that only just holds together on climb out.

 

I have worked out how to beat the beaurocrates, but not to any advantage to aviation.

We’ve had the alternate to wing loading in 95.10 for 20 years ... it’s called single seat 95.55 and it’s got a stall speed limit rather than the proxy of wing area.

If you or anyone wants to built a Hummel that cannot meet the 95.10 limits of wing area you are and have been free to do so for 20 years and register it with 19- on the side

 

30kg/m^2 as a proxy for demonstrated stall speed or claimed stall speed is a simple measurable test and it is possible to build a very strong airframe within this limits BUT you will not have the weight capacity to add bells and whistles like brakes and big electrical systems and instruments.
