durabol[_2_]
I was wondering lately how much are planes structurally designed or
how much do they follow standard construction techniques (copying)
developed for light aircraft?

relevant and helpful to the aviation home builder with professional,
skilled advice and suggestions. But it seems to be degenerating into
spam posts and personal verbal contests, often with show-off,
insulting and foul language.

I've had interest in aviation for a number of years, my uncle was a
pilot and co-owned a New Jersey civil aviation airport for a number of
years. He had a neighbor for a number of years who not only had a

I currently have a friend...

Loose Wing Covering Possible? by
durabol[_2_]
I was wondering it a loose fitting covering that becomes taut when
flying might be possible. This would be for heavily "under chambered"

-optimized control surfaces for good control at low speed
-best to fly only in low wind
-long tow rope to avoid turbulence of or crashing...

NACA profile calculations by
jan olieslagers[_2_]
I have got into plotting NACA profiles by computing. Humbly beginning
with the simplest, which I presume to be NACA 4-digit, I found the

Plotting a symmetrical profile is not that hard: at regular intervals

If you can argue that
"Having an accurate understanding of the physical processes of flight
matters."
