3:57 Note that the wind sock and the flag in the background agree that this demo took place with significant wind. To me, that's impressive and addresses some of the complaints about the conditions needed to fly the thing. I've never seen this in person, but as to the complaints about forward visibility, it seems to me that a forward facing camera angled downward would provide a great view for a screen inside the cockpit. I really hope they did that. Lastly, with regard to the lack of wheels - I believe that the design had to be amphibious because that changes the allowable weight to fit in the ultralight category. Having a wheel still seems possible, but I guess they chose to keep the cockpit easy to seal.

@johnbgibbs 2 года назад

@@nothinghere1996 Their careful flying ruined the presentation. Landing is dead easy. You take it to a suitable spot and landing assist puts it down, if I understand it correctly. The seated angle is correct for cruise. I think they are "flying" the thing too carefully at this stage. They needed to get up, accelerate to cruise and do some convincing figure of eight maneuvers at cruise speed - and far less time hovering. I think they brought it out too early - they needed to be confident with their aircraft. I think the concept is brilliantly simple from a mechanical perspective. Good for fun and as an aerial run-about, but the small span, biplane could never deliver an efficient cruise. For what it CAN do, the design is very clever and should deliver good bang for your buck, if they can get numbers up. Unfortunately selling aircraft is much harder than selling Tesla cars, which cannot be manufactured rapidly enough to meet demand. I wish them well - I think it is an intelligent design.

@johnbgibbs 2 года назад

In cruise the fuselage kind of stands up a bit, and the seat will be at the "right" angle for piloting an aircraft, with fantastic visibility.

If he'd look for the shortest distance Steve would go for a helicopter. I think a BO-105 would fit him best or a AH-1 Cobra... But he is not into the shortest takeoff in a VTOL. He is looking for the shortest way of getting AC airborne as well as taking it back to the ground. This black hippster cage is just nothing that impresses. Just oridinary multirotor that not even is at the technological edge by using 8 engines and props. If multirotor is done why not 4 or 3 engines/props? In case of failure a multirotor can go fly with 3, 2 or even 1 engine left. Just algorithm. Done and profed since a few years... 1 would be a scary ride but 2 or 3 are stable.

@@craigfarber6714 Even still, an airplane can glide as a failsafe with a parachute as a backup to that. A helicopter can autorotate as a failsafe and some actually use a ballistic parachute as a backup. But BlackFly relies entirely on a ballistic parachute. There is no passive backup to that and the big problem here is, it takes time and altitude to deploy that parachute. We’re talking at least 100 feet. I wouldn’t want to be in that thing at fifty feet and have a catastrophic failure that the chute couldn’t make up for.

For all those whom have poo pooed this brief demo, Someone has made a good start for this type of getting airborne. Not one flying machine has been made that has not undergne modifications to improve it. Many proposed designs have never made it airborne, or crashed during the initial flight. Remember, this is an EXPERIMENTAL endeavor. As far as the 200 lb limit, falls well within the single pilot parameter of the 170 lb pilot in Weight & Balance for certified aircraft. Sounds like there are some whom have not seen the 170 lbs for some time and may be jealous. I say KUDOS to the team & to the young lady operating the controls. This is a good start. Probably a bit cheaper than the $300,000.00 TeraFuga.

@abates3747 2 года назад

the most demanding???... there are people literally bolting high powered RC equipment, along with $25 flight controllers (yes, literally $25 flight controllers) and successfully flying their butts further than this thing has flown in this demo. Some have even done it with gas engines. The high thrust to weight RC equipment required to get this done has been around for well over a decade now. And the test program has very little risk: build big multirotor, fly it with RC gear, put weight of human in it and fly it with RC gear, change flight controller settings until it's stable and smooth... then put someone's butt in it and fly it with the same RC gear. People have done exactly this many times over. Manned electric multirotors should be much further along than they are, it's a little surprising really.

@@abates3747 You are talking to a VTOL AE whose began doing this years ago. If it was so easy, it would have been done many years ago. Encourage designers. So many are armchair commentators, but few are the doers. Go build yours and come back here with your flying machine.

@abates3747 2 года назад

um, sorry for the bad news, but you can't have been paying much attention to what others are doing or what has been possible for over a decade. Look at how old "KK" flight controllers are, more than a decade old. And the technology of brushless outrunners and lipos are at least the same age, and there has not been a revolution in large brushless power (like plettenbergs) or energy density of any lipos. Now, those two things together are what is flying in this DIY flying sleigh in this video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DPJaHkz2Ado.html

@@abates3747 Nowhere in my original post did I say they were cutting edge. I stated "VTOL flight, and especially electric VTOL, is some of the most demanding in regards to design and operation." Ever since Da Vinci's copter concept until today, it is not the easiest field of aerodesign to master. I commended the Black Fly Team for their effort. They would not be demonstrating their work at Airventure if they had not accomplished something. Why does a very small group of people look for ways to tear down others work? We are all in this work together. We all benefit by encouraging others. If all goes well, my team will be at Airventure 2022 or 2023 with something many are really going to like. VTOL? Maybe! We will see! Until then, I encourage everyone to devote their energies to encouraging others. The STOL pilots compete and encourage each other on that very piece of sod, and VTOL enthusiasts should too. That is, in EAA terms, The Spirit of Aviation.

@abates3747 2 года назад

Apologies. You're right, and I should just look at it the other way; the knowledge of an experienced aeromodeller who is into multirotors and giant scale RC, actually has the demanding skills needed to build and fly a person carrying multirotor... like, exactly the set of skills needed, and have access to all the off-the-shelf components needed to do it rather cheaply. But naturally, building something for certification for the public, liability and such, along with proving redundancy and so forth is a more lengthy process.

What you are saying Jeff, is already available, so far what we've seen here is someone's idea, that might be practical eventually, too early to say today imo. The concept of lift via the fixed wings is novel, but I don't think that lift has been demonstrated, certainly not here in flight' , the wings were at about a 45, so I would think any beneficial lift would be countered by the air it pushes.

@jpdemer5 2 года назад

Fixed wings and fixed props are nice features (saves weight and complexity), but they make it necessary to tilt the whole craft to transition from hover to flight. I suppose the wings need to be at 90° initially to have zero forward thrust; maybe pusher props would allow them to be closer to flight attitude at takeoff? Also - anybody know how they transition it from hover to flight? Increase rear prop speed, maybe?
