    LIFTING STRUTS

    This is a pick-up from the X-66A thread. I would like to hear ideas and discussion on how to make a Lifting Strut (LS) work aerodynamically, and the possible benefits/drawbacks of using struts as a Lifting Surface (Ls). We all understand that any excrescence on an airplane induces drag...

    TWIN prop LSA

My question goes to twin engine as against twin prop. My understanding is that twin-engines for LSA are out (of-course), but twin-props...

    Flexible Drive Cables

    Can anyone tell me why I can't use a flexible-drive-cable to supply pwr to a point offset to my primary drv line (engine to prop). When I check the basic data from the manf's it says yes, but I'm sure it can't be as simple as that.

    Roadable aircrafr

    G'day everyone, I'm looking for a drive train for my project. I need 100hp at cruise, front wheel drive and obviously light weight and a CV tans. Most of the Suzuki range can be modified to fit the packaging, but I'm not aware that any of them are CVT. Cost is a secondary consideration.
