AeroVantage ~ Fuselage - Wing

Overview:

Note

Picture:
Eventually

Notes: [ 2x4 ] To be moved.

The wings are fixed. They do not tilt. Only the PropRotor and motor assemblies rotate; about a lateral axis.

Consider using a thinner airfoil at the location on the wing which is subjected to the streamtube of the forward PropRotor. This is because of the higher velocity of the airflow due to the propeller. Will the velocity be that much higher than that of the free airstream?

See; Super Falco Series IV Specifications and Mustang II Specifications for wing length, wing area, Gross weight etc. I have hard copy on both.

Super Falco

Mustang II: GW 1600 Lbs. Wing area = 97.1 ft². Wing loading = 16.5 lb/ ft².

Super Falco: GW = 1808 lbs. Wing area = 107.5 ft². Wing loading = 16.8 lb/ ft².

AeroVantage: GW = 1325 lbs. Wing loading = 15.0 lb/ ft^{2 (1)}. Wing area = 88.3 ft².

AeroVantage - 1/8th scale: Wing area = 88.3 ft² / (8 * 8) = 1.38 ft². = 200 in².⁽¹⁾

(1) Guestimate.

Consider wingletes to reduce the overall width of the wings and craft.

It is appearing that the two craft nearest to the desired are the:

Northrop N-1M

Horton Ho VII - Twin Engine Flying Wing

Scale Model: [ 2x4 ]

Wing Loading: (from model book ~ Entering Electrics)

LeRoy Ugly Stick fuselage used with the following wings.

Model:	Gross Weight: (lbs)	Wing Area: (sq-in)	Wing Loading: (oz / sq-ft)
Professor:		400	17.3
Mirage:		465	14.9
Thermal Charger:		550	12.3
Electra:		650	10.5

AeroVantage	2.6 lb; 1,182 g	280 sq-in ⁽¹⁾	21.4

(1) The wing area on the AeroVantage will probably be reduced. See section above. A slow stall speed is not relevant.
