If you take 1/5 of the 3000 lb as the safe working load, I'd yield 600 lb. So it seems all the loops you're testing recently are performing well.
Of course ! Go to sleep now - but, be careful, do not sleep only 1/5 of the time you slept last night, because, if you do it for long, you would nt be able to write so interesting things as this !
The idea that anything we say, has to be true only for the 1/5 th of everything, is a solution to my country s debt problem, but it is not a cure for ignorance, I am afraid.
P.S. Whoever believes that things
actually do, or
should better do, the 1 /5 th, only, of what they
can do, and given that "...
an aircraft with an overall safety factor of 5 would probably be too heavy to get off the ground ", he should only travel by car - and because cars would presumably obey the same rule, so they will not go faster than horses, he should better find a nice horse, and gallop straight back to the dawn of civilization - a prudent thing to do, indeed, for us all !
If my sailboat s ropes were 5 times heavier than they actually are, I would had been dead and buried ( in the sea, i.e., eaten by the fishes ) a long time ago, because it would had
sank - but I suppose THAT would be a good thing for everybody who tries to
sell this low-quality merchandise, the fake, so-called "Zeppelin loop" - which, although its quality is the 1 / 5 th of the quality of any of the many safe bowlines, it is attempted to be sold at 5 times the price it deserves !
