Very nice project with very good results. But is not by any means "bionic" (biological combined or integrated with mechanics). It's apearence is close to the Horten HO-229 flying wing.
I love this design. Have you considered variable lateral thrust for yaw control? I have a design idea that is similar but no bending of the wing. Control is through varying thrust. There are four thrust channels two on each side of the wing. One one side is a channel just above the trailing edge and above this just past the centre chord of the wing is another channel. By varying thrust to this upper channel lift can be augmented and varying it in different combinations of the four yaw, pitch and roll can be controlled.
I do not know the language. I think it's a bionic plane. I saw the electronics section, but I don't know what section the bio is in? Edit : Aaah.. Maybe the pilot is the bio.?
Instead of having dedicated control surfaces its actually moving the wing for deflection instead as far as I can tell. That it where the ''Bionic" part is coming from. Regardless its a handsome design.
off the top of my head? I would think it would have better structural integrity, not relying on failure points like individual hinges, which are huge design concerns otherwise. Another would be drag, reducing large amounts of parasitic drag due to the smooth nature of the adjustment. Flaps have a lot of 'hard edges' that make a lot of drag, having the wing itself deform to adjust AoI to turn would definitely cut at least some of the drag, though I couldn't tell you how much. There could be more but those two factors are just off the top of my head, and I may be incorrect...
Honestly, that is a good question. Drag reduction is likely the biggest reason. The added difficulty in manufacturing, complexity of design and costs of carbon fiber make me wonder if their success is a win. I'm certain they all learned a lot from the project, but the future of warped control surfaces remains to be seen. Lots of complexity and cost involved for a small gain. But it is way cool.
Ahh!, so it works like a limited version of the Mission Adaptive Wing (MAW) built by Boeing in the 1980's. There is so much room to develop such a system, and should be far cheaper and easier to build now, thanks to the advances in computer processing power (especially vs mass of the flight computer), software, and materials sciences. The potential step forward in reduced fuel usage is well worth taking a good look at the technology once more.
... interessant z.B. für mich wären weitere Vids., in denen die Steuerung über die Wingtips detaillierter gezeigt wird und über die Wirksamkeit berichtet wird, ... warum kein weiteres Vid.? Btw., das Design is' ja wohl der Kracher !
What the BEST looks like..not what feels the best. Well done, gentlemen
Wright Bros would be glad to see their 'integral airlerons' concept working on the most sofisticated wing plane to date. Cheers!
Too many jump cuts, I want to see the plane!
This is the future of flight. Deforming surfaces for control.
My jaw dropped when I saw it. Absolutely pleasing to the eyes!
What an amazing project! 💯 keep it up!
Wicked gorgeous plane, nice work team.
What an awesome job! We need engineering stuff like this...
Looks like the vibe-o-meter was dialed in perfect.
Great Video .👍Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Wright brother technology modernized, nice
Really awesome video!!
Congratulations!! Amazing Job!!!
Very nice project with very good results. But is not by any means "bionic" (biological combined or integrated with mechanics). It's apearence is close to the Horten HO-229 flying wing.
Would have been nice to compare this with an equivalent flying wing with discrete control surfaces and show which one has more range
Very impressive team! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃
Brfilliant work - love it!
Great presentation
Questions
What is the range distance with respect to battery capacity ( type also), payload and Velocity???
Very Good job. It would be very interesting to know the airfoils used and the geometric or aerodynamic wingtwist.

do you have any drawings for this, seems like a great design idea!

Klasse video! Toller Sound toller Schnitt und spannend
Future of aeroplanes? What are the advantages of such forming wings over separate control surfaces?

Stark!
Want to see it fly without winglets, I understand the purpose and research behind but it looks much more of a flying wing minus the winglets

Prrfect. Like eagle
wow!
But why ?!

Btw., das Design is' ja wohl der Kracher !
how was the landing LOL
Swiss Boberproject 🤔😳
All of that effort in aerodynamics then you don't bother to retract legs 🤦🏾♂️
Horton lebt.
Gibt es schon eine Ewigkeit....
Coca Cola oven XD
The world's most expensive Flying Wing....It's been done before boys. Someone tell them, tactfully...🤔😳🙄🇬🇧
Wow congratulations you've just copied the stealth fighter or flying wing must be very proude.
Wtf😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉
