Looks much like the kite I flew years ago in a Manila kite festival and it flew very well. Time to build a cockpit model so you can sit down and avoid the neck strain.
I commented on the older post, but again, beautiful. Nicely done. Best to you and your team. (Still surprised at the size of the engine compared to the aircraft - grin). Cheers (Canada)
Thank you for your comment! Here is Kazuhiko Hachiya's channel, the latest flight video of the air show in Oshkosh, USA, held in July this year! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rFeXtspp8OA.html
Thank you for commenting!Please also look at recent videos. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1zjc8X6YsvY.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eutPkuVMlO4.html
You've created something that, though refinedly technical, is beautiful as a poem. Seems to me like the marriage between a Vespa and a Seagull, and has some reminiscense of Sabre F-86 genetics also (the air inlet). Could it be in the future a version with the pilot seated as in a motorcycle? Would a little tail ruin its beauty? (I think it could bring some extra protection against rolling). Again, amazing!

thank you for your comment! You can see the video from the aircraft in the video that is released on the channel of Mr. Hachiya. Here is a flight image from an air show in Oshkosh, USA in July this year. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rFeXtspp8OA.html
Google translate says: On July 31, 1980, it was M-02J modeled after Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds, which made the first 8 round-trip flight in Japan. This video is a test flight video just before the release flight. I tried to follow the trajectory from the time the jet engine was replaced to the open flight. I'm sorry, the video of the actual production gave up a lot of blurring because it used a lot of zoom.
@@TKawasaki Ever thought of producing this for the commercial market? People have been trying to make flying cars, but this is better. Also, this is the closest man will come to flying on a back of a bird, dragon, or even a pterosaur, pteranodon in particular.
Looks like from a Miyazaki movie... As a hang-glider pilot I am a bit surprised about the design, seems to rely more one experiment than aerodynamics and science. Also the feeling of flying is much nicer in a laying position under the wing, that way it feels more bird like :)
