The edit alone is so impressive on its own. The drone shots following the plane were so good it was easy to forget that it was a separate camera following along. Awesome!!!

I think by removing a tad from the rear end of the middle wing you can reduce the nose down tendency during ground effect flying. I love it.

@aswells3 2 года назад

Between the lighting and the perfectly steady camera, a lot of your shots look like a render from a flight simulator. Really amazing stuff.

@halfeld 2 года назад

I'm going to venture a guess here and say this was made with an omnidirectional camera. They oriented the shot afterwards. Having offered that option, it may very well be that they just killed it and that's it. Great shots anyway!

It really is the best RC ever, not just a ground effect vehicle. I hope the major corporations see his and mass produce something similar. It would be so fun to have an FPV ground effect vehicle. You guys outdid yourselves with this one. It's also not only functional, it's a work of art! Watching it fly in the ground effect, is the most relaxing thing ever. Game changer!

@SolaLupus 2 года назад

I think it may further benefit from moving the existing LiDAR to the center and adding two more to the ends of the wings so it can automatically avoid hitting the water when turning.

@henryatkinson1479 2 года назад

I've always been obsessed with Ekranoplans. Really cool to see how well yours turned out. Out of curiosity, why did you not opt for scale ducted fans? I would think the greater static pressure would be something desirable for your tiltrotor configuration.

They are less efficient, have slower acceleration for the ground effect control loop, and just blow a hole in the water

@brucebaxter6923 2 года назад

Airspeed sensor for throttle and lidar for elevator. The total energy control loop doesn’t work in ground effect, it reverses. Please please please put on an airspeed sensor and close that loop, you need it to run on the back edge of the drag/speed curve to gain the ground effect gains.

@rubiconnn 2 года назад

I'm no flight control expert, but I feel like using vertical speed data would be better for stability than using absolute altitude data. That way it can try to predict when the aircraft is going to get too close to the ground before it happens so you get less oscillation from the props needing time to spin up.

@brucebaxter6923 2 года назад

@@rubiconnn After I just explained why you don’t use thrust to control altitude. How do you measure vertical velocity without measuring absolute height? How do you hold an absolute height by measuring vertical velocity?

@RCRitterFPV 2 года назад

How is efficiency to payload ? Design goals achieved? love watching it skim over the surface. that is the premiss right? much more load capacity and efficiency when in ground effect? love the tilting motors to get the air under the wing, what if instead of rotating motor, you diverted it with a Flap that dropped in or had it permanently pushing under the wing. ?

@z_actual 2 года назад

The anhedral reverse delta allows the centre of effort to move aft as the machine descends, but recovers some pressure toward the tips as the wing gets closer to the surface, keeping the machine in trim. Mostly these hybrid shapes of Alexander Lippisch's design exist to get around the patent it isnt usual to have flaps on the mainplane
