Looks great! I don't have the aerospace toolbox, but the app still works. Is there a way to import airfoil coordinates?
Under the "Aero" tab, while defining the airfoils, enter "0" and press enter. You will now have the option to import data file / input points / input aero parameters. Hope this helps!
@ Yes! Thank you!
Thank you

0717 illustration/narrative suggests a wing configuration that results in a FULL TIME positive aoa of eight degrees. that is dumb. a small/tiny wing should always be designed having a flat-bottomed profile, one that precisely resembles the original clark-y profile. the thickness of the clark-y is 11.7 percent, and that thickness accommodates about three degrees of built-in positive aoa; when the wing is at zero-degrees aoa relative to its lower surface.
The wing incidence angle is around 2.6 degrees. The angle is exaggerated in the figure for clarity. What this means is that when the angle of attack of the fuselage is 0 degrees, the wing experiences an angle of attack of 2.6 degrees. This angle is optimized for cruise.
0614 good up 'til now. in addition to a cg, an aircraft has a center of mass (c-m). cg is the span-wise line of a balance (when the aircraft is flying), located at the wing's 'lower' surface. nominally, located at thirty percent of chord/mac. the correct location of c-m is, on the thrust line, at a point that vertically aligns with the wing's neutral point. that is, twenty-five percent of chord/mac. location of c-m is indicated in this illustration.
another shit video that tells fairy tails about the Neutral Point, idiotic..i assume you just copy and downread what you never understood! thus only works on toys! you even git the diwnwas angke rekated to AOA of the other surfaces wrong! there neverwas a tail surface that was nit a wing itself that ever dragged the NO backwards! useless!
Can I design with this tool a flying wing?
Yes! As of now, the only problem I have found with this software is while designing canard aircraft.
Cubic wing loading (or wing cube loading) is a better indicator that works for planes of all sizes. It is calculated by dividing the wing loading in oz/ft2 by the square root of the wing area in ft2. Here are typical CWLs for . . . Gliders 5, Trainers 7, Sport 9, Pattern 11, Racers 12, Full Scale 15 - 20.
Subscribed man. Excellent content 👌
I am so very glad I found your channel. I am a beginner artist trying to create 3D models of my original jet fighters and random aircrafts for my possible films (hopefully I would be able to make them someday) that includes dogfighting and this channel of yours is a huge help for me to add a bit of realism to my aircraft animations and able to try to add at least a bit of sense to them despite the possible films I am making are quite Sci-Fi. You earned a sub and a fan too, friend <3
Thank you, that means a lot. I would love to see what you create!
Can you explain the control surfaces and the proportion of the wing they occupy?
I would recommend you to look at similar aircraft wings and see how much proportion of it the control surfaces occupy (the ratio of chords and spans of the control surface to the chord and span of the wing).
Retractable undercarriage simply swaps form drag for induced drag.
Best introduction video in 2024!!! Crystal clear!!!!!
Elliptical wings are not the lowest drag, it's the bell shaped. See Albion Bowers research at NASA, or the video where he presents it or his published papers. YT "Flying with birds - meeting Albion Bowers"
Thank you for this, I will check it out
The landing gear contributes a lot of drag even though its small compared to the rest of the aircraft. Because of its shape. Which is interesting. The tadpole shape is actually not used that much I think. Even in smaller general aviation aircraft, I think its somewhat tapered like the tadpole shape but its not really a tadpole. Practical reasons I guess. Lift induced drag is actually kinda complicated. Higher aspect ratio wings have their limitations. A longer, thinner, lower chord wing has more bending moments involved to carry the weight of the plane, requires more structure weight. Its a numbers game, trade-off. Also reduces fuel capacity depending. And maneuverability, but that might not be too important unless its a fighter or aerobatic. Keeping the CG close to the wing is good for efficiency. But the CG has to be substantially ahead of the wing's 'resultant lift point' or center of pressure or whatever, to ensure longitudinal stability. What do we mean by belly landing ? Also there are 2 prisms. The one shaped like a bullet I'm not sure about that shape. If its a prism. Which side is facing forward, against the relative wind ? And if the curved side is facing forward, why would it have a higher drag coefficient than the other prism ? Engine cowlings are good of course. But we have to make sure the engine has adequate cooling and intake airflow.
All valid points. There is always a trade-off in aircraft design. Belly landings are meant for small RC planes and UAVs landing on the ground/grass without a landing gear. Yes, there is a typing error : the 2nd prism should have been "bullet" with a CDo = 0.295. The flow is from left to right, as indicated by the arrow. The original data is taken from here: www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/VirtualAero/BottleRocket/airplane/shaped3.html

I am using the 3 view image of the Rutan Quickie from this site: richard.ferriere.free.fr/3vues/R-3vues.html
Yes, as shown on Pages 1-3 and 20-5 of Q-2 plans.
Thanks for the video, will include a link from this video as reference in my next video.
Sure, I am excited to see what you build next!
Is the neutral point like where the resultant net lift or moments act thru ? And I just thought I would throw this out there. How come you don't see too many 3 surface aircraft out there ? I did hear from one person that the Piaggio Avanti has some stability problems but I only heard that from one person. But I guess its tricky to design with having to mitigate the interference effects, and to make sure its always stable and controllable, able to recover from stalls etc.
Neutral point can be thought of as this: If you place the C.G at the neutral point, the aircraft will be neutrally stable. Neutral stability means that if a disturbance (like a gust of wind) causes a nose-up, the aircraft will remain in that nose-up orientation until another force acts on it. If you put the C.G behind the neutral point, you will get an unstable aircraft (one where the nose up continues to happen and the aircraft stalls). If you put the C.G ahead of the neutral point, you get a stable aircraft (one where the nose wants to come back down after the initial disturbance). Yes, 3 surface designs are not very popular. Mostly, the design is used to shift the main wing aft, to increase the cabin space. There is an interesting discussion here: aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/80690/why-arent-3-surface-aircraft-more-popular-in-general-aviation Hope this helps!
Yes that helps thanks
i think i found a gem!!was searching for channels to learn basics aircraft design principles. i have a question, for all the data u used in this video, what was the wing air-foil cross-section? I believe the design of the air-foil effects the clmax heavily.
Thank you for your kind words! The data I used in the video is mainly from the book "Basics of RC Model Aircraft Design". You are right, the airfoil affects clmax value, however, for most RC plane wings, the clmax value is close to 1. This is more of a rule of thumb, which can be used for initial sizing. Moreover, for "real" wings (finite span wings), we don't completely achieve the theoretical clmax value of the airfoil (which we get from the airfoil plots). Also note that the wing loading values for different models suggested in the video is for one particular type of construction method. So, in practice, the wing loading must be chosen according to what similar planes of similar construction have.
Very interesting! Have you written a technical paper describing your methodology? The URL in the description isn't working.
Just to be clear, I have not developed this tool, I have just shown how to install it and get started. If you want to see the user manual, you can see it when you open the Aircraft Intuitive Design App in MATLAB by clicking on the "help" tab. A pdf of the user manual will open containing information about which methods are used in the background. If the link is not working, you can just search for "Aircraft Intuitive Design" in your browser. Hope this helps!

Excellent information!
Thank you!
Can designing things there really work in real life?
This is just one of the initial steps, and the design acts like a starting point for further analysis. Right now, I only create 3D models (which can be later used to visualize/present/3D print the idea). A lot of important steps come next, based on which we iterate the design. As it is said in aircraft design, "you never build the dash-1". (It is easier if making an RC plane, because the design can be built, flown and tested without much investment).
not really, there will be a lot of things that couldn't be fully built in 3d means, you will also have to measure different things about the craft, such as center of gravity, drag lift coefficient. could use simulation games such as flyout to build it thou :D
Does this work for latest version of matlab?
Yes
How can I design on mobile so easily?? Can I use this in mobile?
I used the desktop version of MATLAB for running the application. It may not be possible to run this app on mobile.
