Turn Principe of assymmetric balance Moment Engine Airflow Rotation Tail CG Conventional airplane
No turn Principe of assymmetric balance Moment Engine Rotation Airflow Drag E and T and D compensate turning Tail CG Weight Compensate moment M Blohm & Voss 141
Principe of assymmetric balance Which solution for tailless designs? No tail ! No force T ? No force T (Vision 1)May not create force D No forces T and D Prop needs to lay in center Problem: where to place engine and cockpit? Tailless airplane
Principe of assymmetric balance My way of thought (Vision 1) CG M Rotation Weight Compensate moment M No choice, prop in center. Moment M CG of center to left side Problem: How is it possible to place a CG of center AND the cockpit in center Tailless airplane
Principe of assymmetric balance Other idea No tail ! No force T ? No force T (Vision 2) E and D have to compensate CG and Prop of center Tailless airplane
No turn Principe of assymmetric balance My way of thought (Vision 2) Engine Drag CG M Rotation Weight Compensate moment M Due the rotation prop CG and cockpit on left side of center Moment and Weight compensate Engine and Drag compensate Tailless airplane
No turn Problem with this vision Engine Drag CG M Rotation Weight Compensate moment M If E and D compensate there is no more propthrust left to move the plane forwards Tailless airplane
No force T E and D have to compensate No turn Principe of assymmetric balance My way of thought (Vision 3) Drag Engine CG E to the right (Vision 3) E and D create moments around CG E and D compensate the moments around CG Still enginepower left to move the plane
Is my way of thought correct? Did anybody make RC models in this way? Any others comments are also welcome. Keep that brain spawning wings. Koen Van de Kerckhove member of Nurflugel-mailing group (www.nurflugel.com)
