My Dad and I went out to Edwards once and saw the space shuttle land. It was the first flight after the Challenger disaster. That was many years ago but I remember that we could see it 'falling' from a long ways up and it looked like a big rock falling out of the sky. They did a circle on the way down then flared it radically to land. It was amazing to see it. It was a clear crisp day out in the desert with lots of people cheering. I will never forget it.

Very cool, but the flight area doesn't seem ideal for these experiments. Lots of houses and trees, making it harder to recover the model. Did you consider adding rudder (or it isn't of much use..)?

Very poorly chosen location for testing.... To much negative going on right now for us guys trying to be safe about things as is. With as many hits as this guy gets, he needs to be more responsible about flying. That said, good stuff.

Yea not my intention to start any issues..but I just saw this video and the first thing running through my head is..."Not safe"...I love this hobby and it has had nothing but bad publicity lately. Not to mention that it's illegal to drop "anything" from an rc aircraft according to the newly appointed Drone Enforcement Board (not sure what they called it) that has till Nov 20th to come up with a way to make people register rc planes. So after watching that news conference about the drones...then seeing this video and thinking that....and then seeing all the comments giving him a "good job man..keep it up" ...i just thought a lot of people weren't noticing that it wasn't a good idea.

@ExperimentalAirlines 8 жыл бұрын

That's badass! Your tenacity is over the top. I can learn from this as well as some previous experiences with delta wing planes blowing out of yaw, I think due to the central vertical stabilizer being blanked out by the fuselage and/or wings at high alpha. A spiral results. Putting wingtip verticals seems to do the trick, like most of the experimental lifting bodies have. I don't know how the Space Shuttle got away with it except that the VS is hella tall on it.

@j69chevelle 8 жыл бұрын

+ExperimentalAirlines The surface area of the Orbiters delta wing is far less than a traditional delta wing and are swept at a far more aggressive angle than flying wing which allows the VS to be placed further away from the CG which allows for better control authority. Additionally, the Orbiter VS uses differential drag (split rudder) as opposed to the conventional rudder.

The gliders you where copying, including the space shuttle, have wing shapes designed for supersonic flight - that curved delta, like Concorde.

Try it without the gyro, deltas are usually stable.
