I am looking to do some redesign on a WAR FW 190. The wing is 20’ and has an area of approx 77ft^2. Weight is an issue and the redesign will largely involve creating a mold and chunking the wood and foam. New empty weight will be around 550lbs. Gross TO weight will be 900lbs.
The performance I am looking for from the wing is a low stall speed, 50 mph, and a cruise speed of 180 mph. Power will be in the 100-130 hp range.
The current airfoil is a 23015, 014, and 012. There must be better airfoils out there.
The wing must accommodate the retractable gear.
I want to keep the FW190 look in the planform.
Any ideas out there?
