An interesting design - "double-box" tail to reduce tip vortexes?
Construction is typical Rutan moldless. http://www.synergyaircraft.com/index.html Construction log: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...l=9 655b74356 |

What kneed shorter runways? etc... -- Philippe Vessaire Ò¿Ó¬ |

But still...I look at all those extra junctions and think "Interference drag". And then there is the parasitic drag from all those non-lifting vertical surfaces. Does this really have any benefit over a long-aspect ratio conventional wing? If nothing else, it will fit into a more conveniently-sized T-hanger. I hope they truly have invented a better mousetrap, but my plan is to wait and see. Vaughn |

m... An interesting design - "double-box" tail to reduce tip vortexes? Construction is typical Rutan moldless. http://www.synergyaircraft.com/index.html Construction log: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...l=9 655b74356 "Wake Propulsion, Open Thermodynamics, and Subsonic Area Ruling" Bullpucky Alert! Bullpucky Alert! "Every donation counts" Danger! Will Robinson Danger! I can't believe you find this crap to be "An interesting design". Then again, if you have all that money to donate to a project perhaps you'd like to invest in the Isakson Phantomware. Guaranteed to go Mach two on to gallons per hour, it's made of pure balonium and it literally builds itself in one afternoon. Hurry, Hurry, Hurry. Richard Isakson |

Richard Isakson Did you bother to look at the aircraft they are actually building? I think it IS interesting. Ok, I'm not convinced the trade-offs will work for them, but 1) they really are building the thing. 2) even if it doesn't advance the state of the art, it is a construction project, so very on topic. 3) it would be nice to get some RAH traffic going again. 4) where is your project Isak?

m... 4) where is your project Isak? Richard Alas, no more project. While in Viet Nam I was sprayed by the Dioxin they used as a defoliant(Agent Orange). I even saw them spraying and asked about it. "Oh, you don't need to worry about That". Now, after all these years, I've been diagnosed with stage four Lymphoma related to the spraying. It's somewhat treatable but incurable. It will kill me if the chemo doesn't. Other then the end results, the cancer symptoms aren't bad. The results of the chemo are hellish. Two years ago I had little sense of balance, I would fall down just walking down the street. Can you imagine trying to fly an airplane without a sense of balance? I don't fly any more. I can't even self certify. Losing your ability to fly is just as horrible as you always thought it was. If I can't fly it, I won't built it. Thus no project. Richard Isakson |

We had 4 UH1H "Ranch Hands" visit our flight line for a couple of weeks. They all leaked orange puddles. But they said to stay away from it - and we did. I've had a bladder tumor rupture (cost me my medical), my first and only (please!) menstrual cycle. Gave me a how ne respect for what 13 year old girls go through. But no lymphoma. Still, I'm itching to build that cute little cabin job (VeeWee Coupe). It won't come in as a legal ultralight, I know. But I think it can get it in at about 310-320 maybe. I might just built it anyway. It would be something fun to do. Richard |
