That's the title in www.airpigz.com.
The truth I saw the plane and fell in love with it.
I am nearly finished with my cnc-cutter and am doubting on my initial project.
Imagine this plane configuration with a single pusher engine.
What I like:
What I like is you could make it easily laminar.
You have plenty of space for a simple retractable landing gear.
You could build it efficiently with 4 not so huge molds.
Could be build fairly silent
Plenty of space
Fuel efficient
The original has stol caracteristics
What I dont like:
Vertical stabilizer surface produces a lot of drag
As an ultralight, due to the prop size the two tail booms would be wider than 6+2/3 feet (2m) and the thing would be hardly transportable
Questions:
Couldn't I reduce the vertical stabilizers?
Couldn't I put the horizontal stabilizer in the prop stream to increase effectiveness and reduce vertical stab height?
How much could I shorten the distance between the two tail booms so that a wheel fits into every boom and the pusher prop still has a decent size?
In a non tapered wing the stall starts at the center back. Having there a vacuum due to the pusher prop, shouldn't that improve the stall caraceteristics forcing the flow to keep attached?
Anybody knows if the thing flies nicely?
