This means that the flyer doesn't have to maintain the shape of the wings through sheer physical force alone, but also doesn't suffer limited mobility due to a rigid wing structure. The suit straps securely to the flyer's body, without obstructing the pilot chute or the emergency handles ...
This led to the design of the "Biom T1," a straight tapered flying wing without quarter chord sweep or vertical surfaces. Previous research has validated the Biom Tl's stability and control. This research seeks to determine its performance metrics. Classical performance analysis is conducted ...
The prior art of Velkow recognizes the necessity for wing elasticity in both span (sideward) and chord (rearward) directions, but proposes various flapping rates and uses mechanical means to flex only the outer part of the wings. The wings are pivotable at the proximal end, and flexure is...
One last shot before the doors of possibility closed for the time being as the falcons re-claimed the crag for nesting. Without knowing what to expect I fired off initial easy moves I knew so well by now. Through the first boulder I desperately tried to shake some life back into my flai...
In a preferred embodiment, the flying hovercraft is an RC flying saucer that is constructed of a single EPP foam shell weighing between 30-42 ounces unloaded. Although light-weight, the saucer is designed to withstand free falls of up to 5 feet without damage. Even though it is as lightwei...
I built 3 of these, all the same, before doing any flying. The first I built in a flurry of activity without photos as I was working out the design. It was one of those "Honey, why did you stay up till 3:30 in the morning" episodes. The second I built exactly like the first ...
The first thing to learn in float flying is how to taxi. Without a water rudder, it may be difficult to turn a model on the water, especially when the wind is blowing. It always helps to hold the control stick back so that the elevator is fully up. Small blasts of throttle should ...
plans every time a leader's term comes to an end. Take for example education: that's not something you can plan and see the results come to fruition in just 8 years. Without such stability, there would only be chaos or plans will keep coming to end without showing their full potential...
There is a circulation actuator on both left and right wings, called left and right actuators respectively. There are four jet channel combinations to form the control functions of jet elevator, jet aileron and jet elevon respectively, which are capable of pitch control, roll control and pitch ...
but it survived and brought its crew home without injury. Its toughness more than compensated for its shorter range and lighter bomb load when compared to the Consolidated B-24 Liberator or the British Avro Lancaster heavy bombers. Stories abound of B-17s returning to base with tails having bee...
