If I wanted to drop $70K+ to build a jet, it definitely wouldn't have a strut-braced wing. But get it cheap enough and I might be tempted to buy it because it's cute and has a unique look. But it doesn't look especially fun to fly. 110 cruise? 155 Vne? Meh.

@americanrambler4972 Год назад

This thing flys around quite nicely with a forty something HP engine, has retractable landing gear, and will scoot along at over 110 mph, and has a stall speed down around 40 mph. That in itself is quite remarkable, But the first thing everyone wants to do is stuff a big heavy 150 to 300 hp motor in it. I bet this would be a super sweet plane with a lighter 85 to 125 hp engine in it. You start stuffing big hp in this thing, you start having to basically redesign the whole plane to carry that hp and extra weight. Then you start defeating the whole purpose for this planes existence.

@borgheses Год назад

stuff three small turbines in, two below the wing in the ducts, one on center back. add afterburners. add a canard with a good surface area. make the wing spars stronger, rate for 10 g's.

@@timbrwolf1121Personally I'm thinking the 914, for hot/high operation. And my rough math, based on the sparse performance info, guestinates the 914 with a constant speed 3 blade could get at least a 2500 fpm rate of climb.

Seems very nice aerodynamically. Should get lift from the lower wing even at low speeds due to the prop airflow, which also energizes airflow at the empennage. Should be quite controllable and stable, including at lower speeds. Like it!

It's hard to make a comment - It looks totally new and an open challenge for many motors (Yamaha 300 HP) - even Electric with a small gas gen for a Hybrid for going the distance with hard point mounts for ether torpedo gas tanks or 2 torpedo shaped Honda 45 cc gas generators wing mounted to aid the electric motor.

@buzzypeterson1147 Год назад

I’ve built many airplanes. It surprises people to learn foam and glass is quite heavy. Yes it could be done. But heavy. Tube and fabric. Or wood and fabric is very light.

@MRxMADHATTER Год назад

@@buzzypeterson1147 Carbon Fiber is light though.

@buzzypeterson1147 Год назад

@@MRxMADHATTER actually you’d be surprised. Not as light as you’d think by the time you are done. Plus the Regitity of carbon is a problem. I had a buddy build a wood core composite plane called a kr2. It was very successful in fiberglass. There were many built. The issue is he did his in carbon 100% and it delaminated because the carbon is so stiff. It’s very hard and will delam from the core. That is why cirrus uses very little carbon fiber in their planes. They are actually 90% regular fiberglass.

@MRxMADHATTER Год назад

@@buzzypeterson1147 I understand that. I used to build. the F-35 and other planes out of carbon. You can't just use carbon by itself. You have to have a framework to attach it to. Also, it helps to use the right resin when doing the lay ups and then cureing it in an autoclave. That strengthens the carbon quite a bit. Also you can go a little bit thicker without adding much weight. Also layups need to be done in vacum bags to remove the excess resin. Resin is the weak link in carbon fiber. I would not recomend a monocoque design in pure carbon. It can be done but that makes it heavier. To keep it light you need just the right combination of metal formers, stringers, bulkheads, etc. I know it would work if it's engineered right, because I've done it myself.

@Major Chungus - bubble canopy sounds awesome, and probably not that hard to do. Current version looks like WW2-fighter canopy. They said they'll bring in electromechanical actuators for the landing gear, to replace hydraulics, since electromechanical is more reliable and can also be lighter. I think they also ought to try a self-feathering or variable-pitch prop.

@manofsan Год назад

@Timothy Campbell - do you think that airframe can handle 170 knots? That "intake" configuration looks like it might be too draggy for that.

@timothycampbell495 Год назад

@@manofsan Remember this is a hand built prototype we're Looking at. With only a 40hp engine in it and a fixed pitch prop the designers are getting 120mph out of it.

I'm surprised that homebuilt planes like this don't use motorcycle engines. A 998 CC Honda engine produces 183 HP, and running at 50% throttle that should still be close to 90hp, with LOTS to spare. They're also really reliable engines, liquid cooled, electronic fuel injection, and lightweight. And it also runs on Premium pump gas - no leaded AVgas needed. Mind you, a pair of PBS TJ-100 jet engines tucked into the aft end of those tunnels would be sweet, and provide some redundancy in case one of them flames out.

I don't know if drag is a concern when the prototype goes 110 with less than half the HP of the production version. Also, I'm sure the duct and "stealth" lifting body help push that stall speed down to 40.

Just wondering what would happened if you built a hoop around the propeller. It might be a little quieter and even possibly be more efficient and maybe more stable.

Kinda like a Fantrainer?

Beautiful design.

I'd love to get ahold of one of these and tinker with the design a bit. Excellent idea, hopefully they can iron out any kinks and lower the price.

Looks like it was built in Kenya

Haha! Really? The lines could be cleaned up a bit couldn't they? Let's see what the "In Production Kit" looks like when they start rolling out.

Nah nah. This is the next gen F69 by Lockheed Martin For the US chairfoce. Thanks Joe Biden. LGB FJB!!!!

Something that looks so nice should be able to cruise at least 180 mph. Otherwise, while it looks nice, it seems a bit too slow. It'll be interesting to see what the other engine options bring. It's on my radar. :-)

Vne is 155. This plane will do best at low speeds. It's still cool though!

This looks like an RC foam pusher jet… this is cool!

Waoh, the sheet metal workmanship is absolutely remarquable, flat, square, no woble whatsoever. I'm sure Mr Reynolds is delighted.

Honestly just waiting for someone to come out with something like this driven by a Battery system with an Electric Motor like what Tesla's done with their cars, but to drive the propeller at a high RPM. I think it'd be interesting, but also quite challenging to see someone pull it off.

@martindinner3621 Год назад

Battery mass is still the sticking point.

@mcrumptoFILMS Год назад

That was my thought too. Could make the build even easier, with less moving parts and less to maintain?

@Dos895 8 месяцев назад

Such a neat design!

@andrec1058 2 месяца назад

I'll digitize it. Every piece. Its super cool.

Interesting plane. Here's to hoping that fairly high cost doesn't destroy it before it even starts out. A single seater is a hard sell to begin with these days. As there isn't a flying version that is a proof of current kit also isn't helping this here (the low power version in Greece doesn't count here!). Methinks they might have jumped the gun on this possibly. I wish them the best for success though, it is a good looking and different plane, that might just be enough to do it.

@drampadreg1386 Год назад

The more I look at it, the cheaper it seems to be. Especially that nose gear door! Seems like it was built while they were drinking. Throw on a few paint ball guns, chase the teens around the range!

@ExperimentalAircraftChannel Год назад

Agreed. Hopefully with modern manufacturing techniques this can be made more affordable. And only offered with more than 100HP (And well above) for the "GT" versions. :-)
