This could still be good & fun exam question for new NA or AE. There's just not enough time for long answers, & short ans be dicey regardless. The...
Also, (if I may add some pesty (safety related again) details I hesitated to mention) with a drone pulled kite method, there could be a serious...
Wow... I just want to say thanks for sharing pictures of the bass! That's one piece of a fine art there.
I (still) remember a thread about a heroic French guy rolling across the Atlantic in a wine barrel. Which got me thinking at the time whether...
Could work. Will be slower. Maybe a lot slower. But will be more comfortable the ride.
Since this is intended to fly an important aspect in physics & engineering to start with is perhaps the power-to-weight-ratio. The 1000 c.c. is...
I was going to suggest an inflatable. But on second thought that could put you at mercy of the lobsters.. scratch that. other suggestions are much...
No it's not meant to 'strictly' stay square, what shape the balloon form assumes really doesn't matter. Shape, or maybe rigidity, during wing form...
I may argue there are similarities and there are differences. Sailloon surely rhymes well. Too bad it's taken.. I'm considering a newer hipper...
"Extramarine" I like that. Have to say you're good with cool sounding names. So I picture it's like a diamond shaped, or eagle-ray, and fairly...
I like how Saqa said it: I didn't say this is going to be practical (or in most cases), or it's demonstrably not possibly a unicorn fart, or the...
Thanks for pointing out. Yah the center will need a triangular cut & join with more pieces. So the tail fin will definitely be higher & further...
This is result of a "brainspiral" from another thread here: Exofish!....a WIG canoe...
ah.. the dimension probably in fives or tens of meters?
throwing physics, engineering & math out for a minute, this could be what a balloonwing looks like: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
hey man, I have to be honest with you, I thought your idea is real interesting and a good mind workout thing. But I thought it's gotta be crazy to...
Not sure if anyone has a private seat of the Solidworks. But I don't have. (Those guys that have lics are probably very hard to get their time..)...
That's what I call where paradise is. I'm surprised looking the vid the thing actually handles the kind of mild side wind fairly well there. If...
Sorry, not hydraulic. It's winch. Can lift the edge with a winch; or use pulleys & rope. Been a while since that idea.
Something I thought about a while ago. Just want to share. The triangular form shall offer more reach outboard. Hinged on the outside edge, and...
