Рет қаралды 1,857
Күн бұрынAfter a lot of consideration and an informative trip to Oshkosh, it was time to make some aerodynamic design changes to the UWS-4 ultralight airplane.
In part 1 we talk about changes to the landing gear, tail and cockpit area of the ultralight.

I agree; steer with the nose wheel, brakes on the mains. Interesting information on the disadvantages of inverted V tails.

The vertical surfaces on the tail seem quite small...

The seat is way too upright. Do a semi reclining seat and cut frontal area by 50% or more, pod or no pod.

How about splitting the tail into two tails, like the Airtruk? Then you could be even further out of the prop wash and it could be still lower.

That is a possibility that I've considered. It could still happen.

Would a tilting prop be an option? Tilting only for clearance issues. Not for vtol or maneuvering.

Sadler Vampire ?

The Vampire definitely set the bar for a slick ultralight.
