    Ribblet airfoil alternative to Naca 4415?

    is a kind of Storm 280.low wing. 475 kg Mtow, 40mph stall with flaps, 135 mph cruise. Wing span 7,8 mt, wing cord 1,34 mt. I'm looking for a very safe stall behavior and low speed approach. (what about using flaperons instead of flaps and aileron? even if I've seen very few low wing aircraft...

    maybe can be rounded the nose fairings! (about aesthetics) and for the weight CG it is enought to move only the prop with a spacer!

    strectched sonex? STRECHEX

    I agree with you that probably will be a complete different airplane, let's say in this way I like the sonex canopy line but my aim is to have it a bit larger and bigger in the cabin. For the stall speed I plan to change only the profile....and maybe to apply a retractable gear. For the engine...

    here I am!!!

    For the Sonex I would only put the prop about 20 cm forward and have the cabin width to 110 cm. Then my plan is to achieve a lover stall speed only changing the profile. Maybe also a retractable gear ...............

    strectched sonex? STRECHEX

    hello everybody, I've alvawys loved sonex but it seems to mee too little and also I'd like to have a lower speed with a very safe stall behavior so my thought was to strech the front to give a more nice profile and to widen the copkit till 1,15 mt (I'm 1,92 mt tall). In the mean while I'd like...
