_“More wings is more lift!“_ Ah, the aviation the twenties -- the pantheistic era of aviation science! My favorite illustrative example of naive aspiration of the time was the shaping of _everything_ into an airfoil section. In some models, even the _door handles_ were shaped like airfoils. Adorable...

@JohnJaggerJack Ай бұрын

Yes the Cg is at the center of the air craft, but the Center of Lift, Cl, is not, its all the way in the front. Im a Msc mechanical engineer with a Bsc in aerospace and my guess of what is happening is: the rear most wings are not generating as much lift as the front ones because as the air passes through each wing set it becomes more turbulent, which causes less lift being generated. Another explanation using continuity theorems is: the delta speed between the air and the wings decreases as the air passes through each wing set, in order to keep the Center of lift near the Cg, in equilibrium, the air would need to be increased after each set of wings in order to maintain the same air speed through the whole of the plane. Another solution would be to increase each wing set length in order increase surface area and get more energy from the "spent air". In a delta configuration.

@LightAndSportyGuy Ай бұрын

The middle / rear wings are in the downwash from the front / middle wings - lower aerodynamic angle of attack as you move back.

@TheRattleSnake3145 Ай бұрын

The simple way to look at it is: they are all equal wings spaces equally so they are effectively one square wing. In standard wings, the CG is 1/4 to 1/3 from the leading edge , so the CG should have been 1/4 - 1/3 of the total cord from the leading edge. Just like a normal wing.

@SynchronizorVideos Ай бұрын

Exactly what I was thinking. By the time the airflow gets to the middle and especially rear sets of wings, it's probably so chopped-up that those wings are producing very little effective lift. It would also help explain why the pitch authority was so garbage.

@TheRattleSnake3145 Ай бұрын

Due to the amount of sticks holding up the wind the sticks cause a lot of drag reducing the speed of the aircraft. This is a real factor of old time fighter air craft in ww1 planes, the planes didn’t fly as fast as intended because of the bar holding up the upper wing/wings on the plane.

As a single wing pilot, I've never given much thought to biplanes, UNTIL I helped rig a biplane ultralight. I'm also a builder, and savvy how roof trusses "work", and when the final cable on the biplane was tensioned, I couldn't believe hadn't realized the inherent amount of strength in a biplane design. Top and bottom wing 4' apart? Thats a 4' deep truss, and wire brace is very strong with min weight.

Always start too nose heavy. If you don't have elevator authority to get off the ground, you have a safe fail condition. If you start too tail heavy, you get off too easy and then you possibly don't have thrust or elevator control to keep from going unstable. Good piloting getting that first flight back down.

Prediction: more wings equal more lift, but also more weight and more drag, and it eventually gets to a point where these effects cancels each other out and a monoplane is just more efficient. (There's a reason you don't see very many biplanes who's max speed is above 200mph.)

Tandem (or triple) wing designs are inherently unstable. I think it's because all the surfaces are lifting, any control input shifts the center of lift. Changes in angle of attack change the center of lift. Speed variances change the center of lift. You're always going to be flying high alpha or crashing or shifting between the two unstable conditions constantly. This is my belief.

@Justwantahover Ай бұрын

I would have guessed the c-of-g forward of the centre wing. A canard design with two equal size wings has c-of-g forward of the centre and so the centre wing would pretty much have a neutral affect on c-of-g, making it similar c-of-g of a two wing version. I don't know how anyone would guess the centre for c-of-g, knowing that there is no forward penetration what so ever. Like a flat piece of cardboard would glide (with the c-of-g in the centre). 😅
