    Double delta wing design

    I've been wanting to design a six-seat airplane to be used simply for recreational flying. My own family is in Indiana, my wife's is mainly in Southern California and we live near Wichita, Kansas. I'd like to have something that will get us around quicker than land transportation. I'd ideally...

    Interiors, seats specifically

    I want to thank all of you for your replies. My design plans have been put on the back burner for now, due to obligation requiring more attention. When I can get back to my drawings, I now have some places to go in my effort to design or procure seating for my airplane. Again, thanks Mike

    Double delta wing design

    Holden, I don't have any particular reason for the double delta design, other than that I like it. If it doesn't seem to work out, I'll move to the single delta design. As for the canard, with the main wing pushed all the way back, I figured I'd need something to help hold the nose up...

    Double delta wing design

    Craig, Thanks for the support. In addition to using some analysis shareware that I've found on the Web, I am also planning to initially build an RC model, probably around 1/4 scale, to do some fundamental testing. By getting up to that size, I should be able to get a lot closer to actual...

    Double delta wing design

    My qualifications to design and build an airplane are probably the same as anyone else. I want to build an aircraft of my own design, provided that it can be determined to be safe and flyable. I know the differences between sheet metal and composites, I work with them everyday. Glass, Kevlar...

    Double delta wing design

    Other than my intro, this has been my only thread here. I am currently in the design stage of a double delta canard pusher. The original inspiration came from the wing design of the Dyke Delta. But where that plane is a 4-place tractor with the wing in the typical mid-fuselage position, I...

    New to homebuilding, not to airplanes

    My name is Michael Scott. I am an A&P mechanic with Cessna Aircraft in Wichita, Kansas. I work in the Citation Service Center on the Citation business jets produced here. Prior to working here I was in the Air Force as a KC-135 mechanic for 10 years. I like what I'm doing now a whole lot...
