Apollo
Well-Known Member
After months of weekend work, my aircraft design site is completed. About 90% of the work was in creating CONTENT rather than the website itself. The site also functions as a design blog where I describe the design goals/drivers and the optimization of my project. Yes, it's a canard pusher and I am well aware of the challenges for that configuration. My goal was to improve the breed and I think I've done that.
The aircraft is called the Apollo and it currently exists as a fully defined digital mockup. I plan to complete the models/analysis and build it within the next three years. Check out my Photo Gallery to see what it's all about!
The website also includes important "lessons learned" about Airplane PDQ, Airfoil Optimizer and CAD software. My blended winglet study with XFLR5 shows what that program is capable of. And there are a few "goodies" for aircraft designers on my Downloads page, which I plan to expand over time.
Here is the link: www.apollocanard.com
I look forward to your comments, critiques and suggestions on this forum.
