Some further numbers were run this afternoon after William's comment, focusing
on trailing wash affecting the horizontal stab and items snagging on a control
surface.
Airspeed was increased from 100kt to 150kt with some interesting results...
basically,
flying faster reduces the turbulence within the cockpit after a door departs.
The other outcome noticed while slicing through the layers of velocity tracing
was all the turbulent flow exits the cockpit at the top center of each door
port;
the sides of the fuselage remain fairly unaffected and away from the wash;
so it would not be too untrue to assume anything such as cloth or lite items
sucked out of the cockpit possess little chance or risk toward hitting or
snagging
on the horizontal stab.
So the numbers indicate fly faster to be in a windy bus stop, or fly slower and
sit in a tornado... personally not excited or outwardly wishing anybody find
themselves in the situation to prove the theory correct.
