Im super excited to show all of you my wing design that I have been working on for most of this last year, plus decades of sleepless nights thinking of ways to redesign wings. This video doesn't cover over 100 hours of footage, and years of research that went into the design of this wing. Stay tuned and subscribe to get notified when I release the 2 hour explainer for my wing design.

Mike, Don Miller and I worked on this same design FIFTY YEARS AGO in Anchorage Ak. We didn't finish it because we were doing it with imagination, and didn't have the math to prove the double slats, but Don did get a STC for extended wings and flaps, and vortex generators on the wing tops, and I told him I thought the VG S were upside down, which was true. THE THING NOBODY HAS GOTTEN RIGHT YET IS YOU NEED TO MAKE THE FLAPS FULL SPAN, AND MAKE THE WING TIPS SLATTED, WITH FIVE FEATHER LIKE FINGERS THAT ROTATE AND FLEX UPWARD LIKE A EAGLE OR CONDOR WING TIPS. THIS FLEX WOULD ALSO GENERATE MORE LANINAR FLOW OFF THE TIPS AND PRODUCE A CLEAN HORIZONTAL TORNADO LATERAL FLOW OFF THE WING, INTO THE DOWNWIND WAKE. Richard Kinser. I think Don's STC is still in the records. It was originally for a PA14. HE WAS A RETIRED FAA STC OFFICER.

Private pilot here with a fascination for mechanical engineering. If I am understanding the abilities of this wing, in the slow flight mode, you will have a fully controllable aircraft at an AOA that is so high that the plane will be descending yet not stalled. In effect having a built in stall/spin proof design since to stall it the AOA would have to be well beyond the point of supporting the aircraft. Amazing. Can't wait to see the detailed video of how you designed this.

@landsail 2 жыл бұрын

Years ago solid wing landsailors used a short width flap for more power, then a double flap with a second gap much like Mike’s double leading edge slat design. I can remember one solid wing landsailor that had a single flap operated by a drill motor and a leading edge slat that was fast. I was privileged to co-pilot Sirocco years ago to 94 mph; very close to the land speed record for a landsailor. Since then there have been few leading slat wing designs for landsailors, but Greenbird with a wing with rear mounted second small wing hit 126.2 mph in a 35 mph wind for the world record. Mike’s idea of a double slat balancing large flaps and drooping ailerons looks to be the next development of a truely adjustable wing for all modes of flying.

I like that all the slats are synced together as they are. I work on G150s and the slats are actuated via ballscrew actuators and are connected to each other and spun via a flexible driveshafts. It is very common for the actuators to get a couple degrees off each other and cause a slat failure. So the fact that Scrappys slats are engineered the way they are is good engineering
