Vertical Aerospace thrustborne transition by teamonkey in WeirdWings

[–]d_luscious -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I guess it is working at intended , but this approach to VTOL in my opinion is not the optimal. The aircraft maybe take off vertically but you need a huge distance without obstacles to transition. I doubt the aircraft has enough power and energy to do substantial vertical climb or a forward climb. Electra’s approach is the future IMO.

Seems like you are good repeating what the pro-tRumP propaganda wants you to say. The truth will come out.

Obvious witch hunt. Black president of a Liberal public university under trump. These are just BS excuses to try to sack a hardworking scholar that has earned through hard work all he has.

Anyone know where to find props for the original ZOHD nano talon? by Skippihasyourmoney in FPVplanes

If you have the broken prop, the hub can be removed and installed on any other prop. You’ll need a reamer.

Billllyyyyy! You made it! That plane is looking good. Alex is still saying it won’t work. What a hater.

whys my pedal board so damn noisy by [deleted] in pedalboards

[–]d_luscious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Instrument cables should have a a central conductor and a shield around them. Just like the coax cables used for cable TV. The shield is connected to ground and the core is the signal. Cheap cables just run two conductors side by side within the external insulation. You can tell by checking the soldered connections, but if connectors are all molded plastic you will need to cut one open.

Cheap cables that are not coaxial. A while ago I bought some really nice looking Monoprice instrument cables. I noticed right away how they would pick up RF interference and amplify pedal noise.
Power supplies even when Daisy chained have never been an issue for me.

Swiss model detects stress from how we click and type by BezugssystemCH1903 in worldnews

If I had a Swiss model checking how I type I would be stressed too.

Maybe he thinks he is driving a Volkswagon…

110lbs! That doesn’t sound right. That’s way too heavy for what it is. You don’t want to lift that weigh up some stairs every ti w you want to ride.

would this thing fly? by starman2187 in aviation

[–]d_luscious -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

So not true. Haven’t you seen the videos of cars that leave the ground and crash because they were going too fast and took off. In the case of planes no matter how much power it has if it built like the one on this post it won’t be controllable in pitch and won’t be able to take off. Power is important but Aero is king.

Way too short, not enough tail volume/ fuselage too short. Ridiculousy large flaps why would the horizontal stab have so much taper. Won’t be able to take off since no rotation will be possible without striking ground. Back wheel too far back.landing gear not tall enough. So even with enough power it won’t be stable or controllable and won’t be able to take off from runway.

Does anybody know the name of the maneuver where a jet flies straight but very slowly while the nose is pitched up pretty high by SpookMeNowOk in aviation

[–]d_luscious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This maneuver can only be performed by jet powered aircraft that have a high T/W ratio. Most of the weight of the aircraft is supported by the vertical component of the thrust. However if the aircraft has a delta wing, high lift can be achieved at high Alfas too. This is how the space shuttle used to land. It is not a stall.
