    Where to draw the line - Deltas versus Flying wings - And why does it matter?

    So, it recently came up in another forum that flying wings were "imposible without comptuers". And we know that to be patently untrue. We have had flying wings from nearly the begining of aviation. But in that disucssion, it struck me, that the difference between a delta and a flying wing is...

    Making a boom, before Boom Aerospace - Messing around with breaking mach.

    In light of the "beat Streaga" thread, and seeing far to much stuff on Concorde lately, I thought I might bring this subject back to the table. Well, at least some variant of the subject: Breaking Mach, in a homebuilt airplane. So how would it be done? How would you do it? The only limit...

    Cabin Class Homebuilts - What's out there? What was out there?

    Howdy Everyone, Where are the cabin class homebuilts? I can think of... three, maybe. The Wilson Global Explorer - A flying boat. There were like three made, and there's very little available on it. The Griffon Lionheart - Something like six made, 450hp radial, modern staggerwing. The...

    In Search of the Davis DA-3

    Hello Everybody, time to let a little of my DA-2 obsession leak. On the DA2 mailing list, I've seen some references to the Davis DA-3 being a supplement for the DA-2 plans. I was wondering if anyone has ~seen~ those plans, or has seen the supplement. Or ideally, has a copy to sell...

    Designing (and hopefully building) the Cheap Air Racer.

    Lets start at the begining: https://www.homebuiltairplanes.com/forums/hangar-flying/19521-cheap-air-racing-class-promote-aviation.html The concept I took from that thread, is that we need a cheap way to go air racing, so we can get air racing done more often, and in more places. People...

    Where is the Mach 1 homebuilt.

    So, we can buy engines with enough power to break the sound barrier. We don't need to carry radars, we don't need to carry defense systems. So.... all we really need is something to keep the wind off of the pilot, carry fuel, and an engine. So... where is it? There was the (nearly...

    Embarking on Airplane projects. KR-1? DA-2?

    So, it's time to start talking about "MY" plans. I have wanted to fly, and build, since the early 90's. Back then, I was all about the hummelbird. I didn't know there were home built 2 seaters that were sane. Recently, I discovered the DA-2. I think it embodies what I want in a plane...
