Different aircraft design.
I apologize if this is too far off topic as this is not a homebuilt
for sure. Useful for education. It is interesting in the design and efficiency of operation. I am surprised that it has not made the commercial market place with our increasing fuel costs. http://www.ekip-aviation-concern.com/ Harold Hoffmann |

I really wish this thing could fly if for no other reason than it would
freak out the UFO nuts. "bizguy" wrote in message ... I apologize if this is too far off topic as this is not a homebuilt for sure. Useful for education.

I found that it was only stable in pitch when it had a positive angle of attack. If I increased speed and flattened the AOA out I reached a point where it would tuck very rapidly and go ape. Suffice to say, my son in law did not build it as a man carrying vehicle. All of that being said, it might be possible to use flyby wire and computer (like F-16) and fly it on the edge of tuck???? and not with a high AOA and high drag associated with the high AOA???

At first glance this looks like it's based on similar principles to the Blended Wing Body (BWB) which is currently being investigated by NASA and numerous major aircraft manufacturers (although it is less "blended" than a BWB). http://www.nasa.gov/topics/aeronauti.../bwb_main.html |

Um,, , , , Bob, , , ,, it has (I'm pretty sure) been proven that given
enough thrust, even pigs will fly. Flash "Bob Kuykendall" wrote in message ...

Congratulations Big John,
You've just discovered the rigid-wing equivilant of a luff-dive. Dunno what that is? Just try pitching down with a standard Regallo wing. You'll figure it out really quick... if you don't hit the ground first. Harry 'been there-done that" Frey former bamboo & plastic Regallo aviator |
