    A complete report on the aerodynamic and strength design of an ul aircraft

    Very interesting project Christos. I wish I could go back 25 years ago and be an aerospace engineer instead of an I.T. guy. I am interested in a similar concept in order to replace my current ride, a DA20-C1 which weights 528 kg empty. I am looking for more range and also an ifr capable...

    Hello!

    For RVs, there is the EVO wing for the F1 Rocket. But that wing is very heavy and makes only sense for a larger engine. As for a longer wing that would be more efficient in cruise, well that's the RV-9. There is someone working on a composite tapered wing that would be compatible with...

However, I'd like to keep the ability to operate from short unimproved grass strips and keep stall speed to trainer airplane levels (my DA20-C1 stalls at 34 knots, I am spoiled). The airplane might have to live outside in our cold winters here, so I'm...
