Question for a Lear expert?

[sideshow]

Tired of searching in the manuals for these two questions so maybe someone can help:

On the 35 model:

1) the 2 scuppers under the wing by the tip tank, what does the rear one go to?

2) small hole half way down the tip tank on the outside edge?

thanks

Not sure on the first question, but for 2) if you are talking about the hole right by the nav/strobe light, it is a grounding point for fueling. It is labeled such on some Lears.

Different hole, this one is forward of the nav light and about half way down the tank.


thanks

The forward scupper is for the leading edge of the wing. The rear scupper is for the wing extension. I believe the small hole is part of the fuel venting system. Good question, I´ll have to review that myself.

The small hole is a drain for the conduit that contains the nav/strobe light wiring. It just lets any water that has condensed in there seep out.

Good Questions... But the ultimate question should be... Why do Lears have to have all these holes, fins, and VGs all over the place to begin with?!?!

So people and instructors can ask these kind of questions.

To get the airplane to do something the inherent design would never do.

Wing stuff!

Have you looked at a Citation Excel wing lately? More crap then the Learjet 45 wing and still doesn't work as well.
