Title: HUGE DELTA WING ...queries... Post by: madaquif on October 02, 2019, 11:29:53 PM after a long time I'm planning to build a model.
a delta wing....but without elevons …. this time I want it to be a normal 3 channel plane. like throttle . rudder . elevator. totally confused about the size of vertical stabilizer, rudder & horizontal Stabilizer elevator. basic dimensions of the wing are as attached in the rough design....total wing area that I calculated was around 2280 sq inches any help would be appreciated ….

Post by: Karthick Ashwath on October 02, 2019, 11:38:11 PM Sir I don't believe you can add a horizontal stabiliser if you are going to build a purely flying wing style delta wing without any fuselage.
However,you can have control surfaces at the base(95" long side) and use them as elevators. Title: Re: HUGE DELTA WING ...queries...

I Need a separate vertical & horizontal stabilizer along with rudder & elevator …..that's the challenge here. ….and it has to have aerobatic abilities... Title: Re: HUGE DELTA WING ...queries... Post by: Karthick Ashwath on October 03, 2019, 05:21:50 PM I really don't understand why you require a separate horizontal stabiliser.
In conventional planes,there is a need for the horizontal stabiliser which moves the centre of lift backwards and allows the centre of lift overlap the centre of mass/gravity. In flying wings that is taken care of by the sweep of the wing which moves the centre of lift backwards and allows it tooverlap the centre of mass/gravity. I have seen some with vertical stabilisers but not horizontal stabilisers as adding a horizontal stabiliser would mean that you will have to add a tail. Adding vertical stabilisers of any kind will reduce the roll capabilities of the craft adversely and hinder its aerobatic capabilities.(not very sure) Title: Re: HUGE DELTA WING ...queries...

as mentioned in my 1st post elevons is not an option, due to the massive size... I have to use conventional Tail system in this build....and m very confused about the size of the same.... I can compromise on the aerobatic abilities ….but the wing needs to make some what sharp turns... I know adding a vertical stab will hinder the roll capability....but it will also help the model fly in a straight line... Title: Re: HUGE DELTA WING ...queries...

Good luck and do keep us posted on the progress Title: Re: HUGE DELTA WING ...queries... Post by: pnkyjs on October 08, 2019, 02:53:33 PM https://youtu.be/PfXvXIHBT6M
Thats 102 inches. Title: Re: HUGE DELTA WING ...queries... Post by: pnkyjs on October 08, 2019, 02:59:04 PM Just building the Wing is one part, flying it is another feat. A person needs some reasonable skills to fly one well. And also good skills in spatial perception.

Post by: pnkyjs on October 09, 2019, 02:12:15 PM The thing, is because there is no tail plane on a wing, its a bit tricky to judge the attitude .
Title: Re: HUGE DELTA WING ...queries... Post by: pnkyjs on October 09, 2019, 02:12:58 PM Of course , do post the build and flight .
Title: Re: HUGE DELTA WING ...queries... Post by: madaquif on October 09, 2019, 05:42:19 PM Of course , do post the build and flight . Sure bro....once I have the correct dimensions....cutting begins....;D ….n trust me...its gonna be one of its kind..... ;) |
