    Ducted fan aircraft

    An interesting concept here: http://www.jetoptera.com/technology/

    Very low aspect ratio planes?

    hehe, I agree. Pinterest is not to be regarded as a useful tool. Just for entertainment and fun. But sometimes one of the things view'ed as entertainmant, gives a little spark of interest 🙂

    Very low aspect ratio planes?

    Eh, I don't know if it's meant to be an aircraft at all. I found it on a Pinterest page with wing-in-ground crafts, AKA ekranoplans.:eek: :oops: 😄

    Very low aspect ratio planes?

    This one just popped up in my Pinterest feed. Maybe of interest to you?

    What type of flying machines is this ?

    Guess it's not the satellite dish or the mirco-cell that's the problem. It will be the monthly subscription for access to the service.

    Very low aspect ratio planes?

    Thank you ("looks amazing") :) But it should not be more expensive to build than a Velocity, or other Rutan-type canards the only difference being more aesthetic curves (and abscence of canards) I admit, I have not enough knowledge to evaluate if pusher configuration can work with deltawings...

    Very low aspect ratio planes?

    If it's too heavy with engine in front, why not use a pusher configuration?

    Build your own HO229 WW2 German Jet Fighter!!

    "Systems space and pilot space and visibility kind of demand protrusions that would make the Wing into somewhat a BWB" -maybe like this 4-seat design-idea?

    Decalage angle

    Can't wait to hear about the effect of the new foam shape. It looks good :-)

    Decalage angle

    Looks very good! Great to hear about your speed and handling improvements :-)

    Experimental sea plane please follow along

    Thank you. I am considering learning Fusion 360 myself :-)

    Experimental sea plane please follow along

    Hi Michael. What software are you using to make those drawings? (Screendumps)

    Decalage angle

    I think you would have better results if you changed the ribbons to spun woollen yarn. Ribbons move easily up and down, but they will not show you sideways flow.

    Isnt this a sexy plane?

    Decalage angle

    Air likes to flow aerodynamically. Think of a seagull (or a salmon) I'm afraid, the sharp corners here will make turbulence and drag.

    Can thrust vectoring enable use of flaps on pure delta wing?

    Both Dyke Delta and Verhees Delta are surprisingly speedy for their installed engine power. And it looks like they don't need a high AOA to take off or land. They do so almost horizontally.

    The 'daydreamers' thread...post your craziest designs and concepts here

    Thank you. I'm using Rhino as 3D-modeler and later export it into Cinema4D for materiales, lightning and final rendering. I would love to use Solidworks, but would need more harddisk space to install some virtual Windows-operative on my iMac, since Solidworks is Windows-only. You are right, I...

    The 'daydreamers' thread...post your craziest designs and concepts here

    Here’s my crazy daydream: A 4-seat aircraft that’s a mixture between a delta, a flying wing and a blended-wing-body. It would be of comparable overall size to a normal Cirrus SR20, but with more than double the wing area, (approx 300 sq. feet vs. 145 sq. feet) which would give an enormous lift...

    First attempt at design for electric delta pusher

    Thank you so much for your advice, Riggerrob. I'm only a graphic artist with much interest in aircraft, and i'm honoured, that my unqualified artwork has some interest among people with real knowledge. I have no idea, if my design could fly in real life. As now, just regard it as eye-candy. But...
