I learned about the concept of Wing Cube Loading from watching Tail Heavy Productions on Youtube. WCL is a dimensionless value that intends to describe how an aircraft design gains and loses energy. WCL is an adaptation of Wing Loading, but intends to consolidate the variations seen from...
If you ever designed an airplane yet was never sure how big to make your horizontal and vertical stabilizers, you could use tail volume coefficients to give you a frame work. TCVs are a dimensionless value that describe how effective the stabilizing fins are on an aircraft. There is a specific...
Hello, I am in the process of designing a Piper L-4, I have taken a papermodel as a reference since it is quite simple to change the design and adapt it to foamboard
I hope you can help me finish the project or even help you in the design of your airplanes.
I built a tiny trainer. everything went well, BUT that was until...
I discovered that my plane was not turning because my tail was on crooked. the tail half of my plain was all crooked. but I only had a tiny piece of foam left. so the only type of fuselage that could fit on the piece of foam...
I’m currently studying mechanical engineering at The University of Birmingham. For my final year project, I have been assigned with designing and making a drone catcher. I have been subscribed to your channel for many years and have seen your video on the Excipio that has inspired an idea of my...
Anyone attempt it? I have a Testors hard plastic model to build for me other half (The Black Bird is her baby!). Suddenly in my mind I saw the long body and integrated wings and tall rudders of this bird in brown foam board. But not two, but two EDF's in each long engine pod.
1. How do you...
I've been practicing a lot on the simulators, because of winter, and I've gotten good at the 3D planes. I want get a real life counterpart, and I have a lot of spare parts and foamboard. Anybody have any designs for a profile or foamie 3D airplane that I can make out of foamboard? I know there's...
