== Landing-gear field verification ==<br />
The <code>touchdown_descent_design</code> and <code>crosswind_component_limit</code> parameters pass through AirVehicle and AerospaceVehicle to the shared flight rows. The fields are populated for [[A-4 Wanderer]], [[T-19 Stratomaster]], [[E-10 Saint]], [[E-11 Saint]], [[P-13 Prowler]] and [[W-6 Manx]].<br />
<br />
The implemented balanced-contact design reference is 10 ft/s (3.048 m/s), with healthy fully deployed gear on a firm, level surface at the stated design mass. Skid horizontal structural capacities are twice those of equivalent wheeled gear at each vehicle’s own design mass; the vertical envelope is unchanged. The A-4 therefore does not inherit the E-series absolute force capacity.<br />
<br />
Local x64 Release verification passes 1,791 landing-gear checks, 233 collision/injury checks and 112,008 suspension checks, including shared grip, braking/load transfer, unloading, damage, actual model geometry and 30/60/120 FPS rollouts. These are CPU checks, not independent live-flight certifications. Skid vertical support retains the existing simplified ground-support constraint. Live handling validation is still required.<br />
<br />
No full-aircraft numerical crosswind operating limit has been demonstrated. The prescribed 5 m/s lateral-ground-slip check omits the aerodynamic directional-control problem and is not a crosswind rating. Keep the crosswind value unestablished until the operating conditions and control margin are verified. See [[Talk:T-19 Stratomaster]] for the separate pre-existing mass-rating discrepancy.
