“Stylish” R/C Airplane Design Candidate Concepts Team #3 Presented by Kevin Badger Tyler Start

Concept #1

Concept #1 Pros Cons Stylish Simple to build Too low-risk, not aggressive enough

Concept #2

Concept #2 Pros Cons Stylish, especially “stinger” Simple flying wing--fewer parts to build Cons Achieving target CG location Stability will require careful analysis and airfoil selection

Concept #3

Concept #3 Pros Cons Risky--stretches the envelope Stylish and Unique Good fuselage volume for gear Numerous “escape routes” if proposed design fails: tractor engine, twin tails, aileron only, fixed landing gear Cons Haven’t studied canard stability Harder to model behavior Complex structure
