Aerodynamics behind Flying Wings and Tailless Aircraft (Part 2): Stability
This is the second video in a series summarizing my notes for the design, analysis, fabrication, and testing of flying wing style aircraft from an engineer's approach. This video builds upon Part 1, so please go watch that video and understand its contents before watching this one. This video covers the derivation and explanation of each of the 18 important stability derivatives, and explains why this is important and not just meaningless math. Towards the end, there is a practical example of an aircraft analysis, investigating the stability derivatives before and after a minor design change. To wrap things up, I summarize several common methods to determine the stability characteristics of your aircraft design before your first flight test.
Again, if you catch something that is incorrect here, please let me know! I filtered through the final cut as best as I could, but I'm here to learn, so I'm all ears!

Basic Design Theory and Aerodynamics behind Flying Wings and Tailless Aircraft (Part 1)

This is a (regretfully short-handed) summary of my notes for one of my recent home projects in which I challenged myself to design, build, test, and fly a flying wing from scratch. The basic design theory in this video covers surface-level stability (excluding stability derivatives), airfoil design, tailless aircraft performance characteristics, and aircraft config/design methods to generate st...

      For drag on bluff bodies like cars or parachutes, frontal area should be used. For drag on streamlined bodies like aircraft, the planform area is used for consistency with the lift equation

    Hey thanks a lot! I am working on an autonomous drone for data collection at variable altitudes, the initial plan was a flying wing but some difficulties in balancing made me choose a more traditional model, at least until the software is developed enough to control the instability of the aircraft in flight, as my area is physics not engineering I knew how it worked but I had no background on how to make it work for my particular purpose, this video made me rethink and revert the model back to the original plan as it was more efficient than the aerodynamic abomination that I'm using now, a brick with wings and a turbine strapped to its back would be a good description of what I've created

    • @gabefpv
      @gabefpv 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Higher altitude means more severe wind and turbulence, so you need a very stable plane. I wouldn’t use a flying wing for this

    Induced drag decreases, not increases with increasing speed. Di = L^2/(πqb^2) or CDi = CL^2/(πA) with q being dynamic pressure, b the wing span, and A as aspect ratio (b^2/wing area).

Or stated another way, what do you recommend in books? Also, I’d like to recommend taking a look at the “Klingberg wing MkII” channel. He has done some really interesting analysis of a famous flying wing failure and his most recent videos have isolate a really interesting root cause phenomena related to Reynolds Number that is really a core lesson in the vagaries of aerodynamics that I think really highlight some of the things you say about verification.

      You can design a plane and have these values in XFLR5 in a matter of minutes.

The videos on fabrication and flight testing are coming soon, too. Just can’t ignore stability when properly designing.

    Hello Im an Inventor invented a fishtail propulsion for the flying wing. Instead of an reflexed airfoil , tandem airfoils are used. One big front airfoil is the fish body. And the small airfoil behind is the fish tail fin. The tail fin is working like a slotted flap And it's producing thrust like a propeller. It decreases drag of the big body front wing with boundary layer suction technic. Im searching for people interested in my inventions. I believe fishtail propulsion is a very efficient flying technic.
