There's probably more mass and moment arm to play with in the central pod/fuselage, so I'd imagine the effect to be relatively weak.
Yeah, me neither. I don't see how to do that without strong yaw control, or flat spins for that matter either. Knife edge is of course out of the...
I can confirm this anecdotally. I've been refining a series of RC models in the ~170g range that I use for flying in small fields, so they do a...
Of course you're right, I misspoke. If you're trying to push yourself and improve, you never stop crashing, you just get faster. Guess what I...
Very cool to know that open source and DIY type stuff exists in the off-the-shelf side of the hobby too. It's just like anything else, you start...
Easy, a pan can't have any purely vertical surfaces affixed to its edges. It can have pan-tip extensions that go out of plane, but clearly that is...
I'm in agreement with Hephaestus on the notion that 'delta' refers to a planform and that 'flying wing' denotes something without horizontal...
Nice! What aircraft are you flying? I love the OSD, it's a lot richer than the character based overlay you get with betaflight builds. I've never...
Strut and/or wire bracing markedly reduces the maximum bending load that the wing must endure, and typically the weight of adding these truss...
Ah, yes. Fair point.
I haven't flown for a few months due to a buggy radio. Maybe a new one will be in the budget sooner or later. What?! That's a failure of...
Well, I'm gonna be learning MATLAB next semester, and I know it's possible to run external programs with it. Might be possible to write a script...
Absolutely. I'd like to know how to do this for any given planform, as a design tool.
[ATTACH] As in the N1M configuration in the bottom of the formation. Northrop came up with that circa WW2 and flight tests showed it to...
Sounds like their algorithm came up with a cranked wing. Interesting that it's inverted from the way the crank is usually done.
Separate names with a comma.
