Title: A swept flying wing " Canary"
Post by: rahulroy31 on August 28, 2022, 01:22:14 PM
A swept flying wing based on the "Sparian" ... with some changes to the wing and fuselage .. and with e-power.

Fast and good glide ratio without flaps and low sink rate with flaps. No sudden stalls/wing drops in slow tight turns...brakes slows her down substantially, used intermittently just before touch down. .. a good one-piece aircraft for thermals as well as for windy days

Span = 1370 mm, Root Cord/Tip Cord = 197mm, Sweep angle = 19.1 degree, AUW = 650 gms
Wing loading = 7.93 oz/sq ft, Wing cubic loading = 4.66, Stall speed =  13.8 mph

The wing is hotwired out of XPS (Blucore) and skinned with fiberglass, with a CF built-up cap spar on top and bottom. It has vortex generators in each wing.

Happy Flying

a better flight video.. the airbrakes were deployed during the landing finals which slowed down the aircraft   https://youtu.be/dHm2M2FzRIM
