Well well well. What do you know

My interview was successful, The Royal Aeronautical society will be paying my masters tuition fees now

Woo

One more slightly boring bit to go. What comes next is known as the 'reference planform'. Which is what the wing would be shaped like if it was a straight edged trapezoid extending all the way to the centre of the aircraft. Now. The wing has the shape it does for a few reasons, but the primary reaso...

That's absolutely cool dude

Do it! You'll love it So, moving swiftly onwards and upwards from that. A quick amount of research and testing suggested that the plane will be a 'mid-wing' configuration and not high or low because it carries many more aerodynamic advantages. So we're now moving on to aerofoils. So, the aerofoil is...

Definitely want to see more of this!

I know you say it's not but the sketching looks good to me as well

Damn that's impressive. I'll be watching this definately Good work. Better get patents. I'm not a big expert, but there may be a couple of minefields with that. Not sure where you are Jeff but in the UK there was some small scale news of a similar endevour being attempted by a company. They may alre...

Those are damn good physics

Slightly off-topic, but there was a related video with a Roadrunner model you did in TS and then rigged in blender. That was also really good!

Hi Clintonman. It's going to be 3D printed, but for display purposes only. There are two things stopping wind tunnel testing at the moment, the first one is skin roughness, which affects the shape more and more as it gets smaller, but the second is 'Reynolds number matching', the wind tunnel at the ...

well thank you very much. Slightly ashamed of that model as I've got the final design here and I assure you it looks a lot better than that. TL;DR version much further below So, the first thing I need to do, is calculate just how big the wing needs to be, this will be achieved as a function of 'Wing...

Oh yes UDK and Clintonman's plugin go together like a house on fire. Rmember using it for college work once.

Got to say the gun looks sweet sat inside Unreal. Great work!
