wing area:0.048 m2
Aspect ratio:4.76
Designed using CATIA V5 R18 a 3d cad utility for designing .....and total structure is made of balsa...
70% of assembly is done .....uploading the pics......flight video soon...

Wow! That's one awesome project! Thumbs Up
Could you please share the details of the vertical lift system you are using?

sure swapnil the lift fans are ducted fans .....placed on the aft of the wings.....the points of lift fans are calculated theortically...they

they are 90mm edf from hobbyking -dcuted fans

When you asked about the 'power spider' in another thread I thought it was a beginner asking and hence said that it's gonna be a difficult build.

But, man, your work is pure awesome!  Clap

High spirits we have: gravity we flout.



On the lifting dcuted fans, for stabilizing, will you be using thrust vectoring or deferential thrust. Also the dcuted fan at the back, is it fixed or will it transform from lifter to pusher configuration?
Nice project  Clap

Quite an ambitious project.... VTOL on a pure Delta is quite a task. Your model reminds me of another Horten IX flying wing project which inspired me!

Keep us posted.

Looking at the aerodynamic aspects, getting a delta airborne and into forward flight requires quite a lot of effort due for leading edge vortex formation, Delta's take off at AoA> 10 to 15 degrees.Have you done some stability and dynamic analysis on it? can you post some results ?

Al the best for your project!

@Jatayu ...yes i did stability analysis for the design....def ill post the results .....and actually i made an prototype ...of this 8 months back with out vtol...it was sucessful....and i itroduced vtol..to it.....but deltas are more pitch sensitves.....may req..such aoa....

Hey bhanu bro this is really awesome project. I wish you all the best for it. I am not an expert but two things comes in my mind.
1.as you said wingspan is 5 feet will those 9mm DF able to produce enough lift. I am sure you might have done some calculations.
2. I am not sure but you will need microcontroller to stabilize this wing especially during vertical takeoff. I think hk board with dual copter fw will help you.
Whatever it may be but your concept is new. I am waiting for more updates.

Human mind is like a parachute, works when open



hi,

the design concept is good. however with the ducts being situated at the tips it would create more lateral balancing problems.

i would suggest that both the ducts be moved inward an use smaller ducts on the tips for balancing and fwd thrust.

one more thing the main ducts will operate only during vtol mode and should shut off in fwd flight. reentry into hover mode and the ducts come on again.

quite tricky but with todays electronic gizmos and a little bit of programming quite possible.

vtol operation in this model is doubtfull. first of all edfs work at high rpms to give thrust and consume a lot of amps hence the duration is very low. with two edfs ( + 3rd for thrust )and all the electronics. what size lipo are u planning to use?

as per newtons law to lift 1kg vertically you need 10kg thrust.

regds

Huh? Head Scratching How is that Sandeep sir? I thought it needs to be equal and opposite???

Bhanu are those EDFs 1500W or 2400W. And which Lipo are you going to use? (because I was thinking about starting a similar project. Smiley )

Practice, and only Practice will make you perfect



Bhanu
Leaving all the mumbo jumbo behind, there are certain issues that concerns me on your design, those are :

(a) Your lift engines are aft the C of G, at lift off, she will pitch down - you will need a Tri Config, something like the attached image of Yak 38 (Which, like you config had separate Lift engines and Forward flight engine)

(b) Since it is rc aeroplane, you can easily swivel the lift engine mount, see if you can do that

(c) Lift produced is due to differential pressure on top and bottom surface of the wing, presence of the EDF will equalise this pressure and most , if not all of the wing tip will not produce any lift, it will be a dead weight throughout the flight, you have to, not only stop lift engine in forward flight, you have to close it as well,

(d) Pitch down needs to be catered, else as a pure VTOL ? she will be non-starter, however you can run your forward thrust motor and lift motors at low rpm and achieve take off and landing with a fairly small ground run.

@sbajare ..sir as per vtol basic concepts....if there two or more lift fans.....placed well away from c.g...modulation of lift thrust can be used for control in vertical flight..i am using this concept....sir...

IN THRUST WE TRUST.....!!



some suggestions .... take it or leave it....  but think on it....


1>as said... having 2 EDF behind the CG loc u   will have a a pitch down  as soon  as u open throttle..

2> even if u  say that it is on the CG then ur problems are  just getting started.... it will  be like balancing on a rope.... u will even have pitching prob while howering as with 2 it will mostly roll.....suggested u put a 3rd EDF near the nose...

3> so how do manage to use the EDF when in forward flight.... ?? so u cant use the throttle channel as u will need it for forward flight.. if u have a  flap nob on ur transmitter(not a switch ... a dial nob) u can use that....

4> as bajare sir said.... keeping  the EDF far apart it will be difficult to  control... cos a small input will increase to a great extent( due to  larger moment  arm) ... suggested to keep it near ... or half way  the span....

5> try using the HK board for all the axis.... they work really  well for balancing.. 

6> u can even try out thrust vectoring for the 3rd EDF...( the one pusher) so that u donot need to add  a third EDF fro balancing

any ways these are just suggestions...ur call...

thanks

@AEROVISHWA ...thank u sir for your valuble suggestions....what the points u suggested.....are almost true....i got same doubts after instaling fans that it ill have a pitchdown moment......as u mentioned we r planning to tie at c. :)g point and check vtol balancing not going for flight straightly....once again thanks for ur suggestions it helps me in correcting my model.....thank u sir Smiley
