The pylon detail is very good, with an exposed 40kW motor on each pylon with a built in Navigation lighting. Blades are composite carbon fibre weaves that look very and highly realistic. Carbon Fibre weaves are also used on the four leg stands (not the usual helicopter skids). Under a pan...
By Size/weight: Micro air vehicle (Wiki), Miniature UAV (Wiki). Modern model RC aircraft have navigation and flight control systems (Wiki) that are very sophisticated, small and light weight. The Gyrodyne QH-50 DASH Drone Helicopter is a full size UAV. In the movie DUNE (Wiki, IMDb) ...
MAX 10 employs a new landing gear design that shrinks the legs slightly, but even that is just on the limit of what is possible, so if Boeing increased engine size for all models and used that mechanism for MAX 7, 8 and 9, they would have been unable to develop...
With a manual system, the work available at the control surface is limited by the force and travel that an operator can apply to the cockpit controls. As the speed and size of aircraft increase, manual control of the aircraft becomes inadequate to effectively maneuver the aircraft. Various mean...
On the other hand, two design considerations on the overall aircraft level are unclear: how will an aft-mounted engine affect the CG envelope, and how heavy will the pylon for the over-the-wing engine be? Two configurations shown in Figure 13a for the forward-swept configuration were modeled...
An amphibious airplane having an engine assembly mounted at a top center location in the fuselage, and a tail assembly having a horizontal fin in an elevated position so as to be in the propeller air
Each engine is housed in a nacelle suspended from a pylon attached below the wing. The nacelle consists of the following major components: (1) Air Intake Cowl Assembly The air intake cowl is an interchangeable aerodynamic cowl installed at the front of the engine. It ducts airflow to the ...

Using the CFD code Cobalt, force-and-moment calculations are obtained on a civil transport geometry with and without engine nacelle and pylon.Comparisons with experimental data show consistent agreement with forces and moments, wing C_p data, and qualitative data. Installation drag for the nacelle/...
Side winders will open the top canopy and roll down the side windows. I like the way each window does not go downwards evenly... note the lovely well done canvas seat, and quality seatbelt detail. No stick here but a grabbable chunky yoke that is a side right pylon arrangement (th...
