Hey, first of all great Video. I have a problem. What if i need to construct a wing with different chord lenght, and also having twist, sweep and dihedral? Then i cant use only one airfoil and do my sketch on it. What do you recomment to do here?
Sir quick question Between minutes 1:44 and 1:54 you show the center lines you drew How to center the overall profile with the center of the axis? Thank you
+Diego Fung that is a trick. for centering the airfoil you have find the maximum thickness, that point will be your Y axis. For X axis, you have to start from trailing edge and draw an horizontal line
***** Once you trasformed your line into an entity, from the sketch tab, you have to choose "move entities" and then you select all the foil; right click to confirm the selection, and then solidworks ask you the reference start point from moving. there you select the sketch origin (which is not the foil center) and you can move the airfoil)
Hello Can i generate a wing using two different profiles? One naca for the root and one for the tip? Also can i generate intermediate ribs in that wing, just by intersection? Those intermediat ribs can be saved and printed independently? Thank you.
+ion ionel hi! Of course you can do all the things you want to. When choosing tip profile, called geometric twist, be careful to avoid "wash in" by a profile with higher camber than root profile. Regarding mid station profile, the recomendation is the same. If you want to change tip profile with a twisted wing (aerodynamic twist) consider both effects, aerodynamic and geometric. The ribs can be saved as separate file and printed independently, no problem at all. Some consideration arise when you want to print a wing including the skin. In that case you have to create a loft starting from root, passing from mid station profile and ending at the tip. Don't don'tloft a surface because for solidworks it has zero thickness. You have to offset the profile of 1 mm.
Building the wing in assembly mode is much easier, and you do not need to flick between the part and assembly, you can edit any part in the assembly view ! You do not have to create 10 different ribs as you did. In assembly you create one, then make linear pattern which will make copy of your first rib. After this you can easily change the distance between them, and you just edit one rib and all is applied to the rest. Saves a huge amount of time. Also you can make the rib using sheet metal mode and add material as balsa wood, then you will even get a proper mass of the wing. Also, buy any good microphone as the one you use in this video is really rubbish.
Hi, it wasn't my intention to make you angry... sorry. I thought you just missing the point of assembly, making assembly creates relations, and makes it easy to adjust and change if required.
+ibo haidar look for the maximum thickness of the airfoil and draw a vertical line, then draw an horizontal line starting from trailing edge. Then go to "move entities"- > select all the sketch and move the tip to the interception point of the two axis
+ibo haidar locate the maximum thickness point and draw a vertical line, then draw an horizontal line from trailing edge. Go to "move entities" and move the aileron from the tip to the interception poin created by the axis...

+simone calamia per l'asse X, devi prendere la metà del segmento che usi per chiudere il trailing edge, o bordo di fuga o di uscita. Per l'asse Y, dalle tabelle del profilo devi trovare il punto di massimo spessore. Una volta tracciate le due linee, selezioni tutto e poi muovi le entità selezionate e le fai coincidere con l'origine degli assi
Even if is not same span, you solved it. Now you know how to do it and learn something more instead of follow instructions like a sheep. You use your brain, that is my purpose...
Hello Sir, I would like to ask how I can make a taper wing using the same method you used? thank you!
Can you please do the same video for a tapered wing?
Hey, first of all great Video. I have a problem. What if i need to construct a wing with different chord lenght, and also having twist, sweep and dihedral? Then i cant use only one airfoil and do my sketch on it. What do you recomment to do here?
what is the airfoil series you are using
It was randomly choosen...
Watch this in 2x speed... thank me later

Great :) i will save your text and try to apply all that in solidworks :) i am a begginer :)
Thank you so much for the great work. I wanted to ask why do you make a hole on the top of the wing at the end?
I think he put the hole so he can attach a servos motor.
do you have any video of how to design wings with flaps?, if not could you recomned any please
nicolas bisordi check episode 4 and 5
I am not able to copy paste the ribs, its not aligned, Please help
+aftab ullah sounds strange. First you have to create a plane, then you can paste the rib
how do i get the profile????

+fullrespect69 hey professor, if you are good enough why do you watch my video?

How did you move the origin
+ibo haidar look for the maximum thickness of the airfoil and draw a vertical line, then draw an horizontal line starting from trailing edge. Then go to "move entities"- > select all the sketch and move the tip to the interception point of the two axis

I need know how to copy a sketch from one plane to other !Any short cuts used?
First, you have to create a plane, and then ctrl+c - ctrl+v
+jaideep M no short cut. First create the reference plane, then paste the sketck
how do I find the maximum thickness point
usually is located between 25 to 30 % of the chord. in any case you can find such information on airfoil datasheet from naca archives
I can't copy the airfoil, only the sketch parts are copying please help!!!!
I figured that, FORGOT TO CONVERT AIRFOIL TO ENTITIES
how did you get a smooth wing shape like that? or did u just draw it?
+Simon Barbarasch you draw it using the function "xyz curve"
+Simon Barbarasch hi, is a curve made when you import coordinates to solidworks. Is automatic
CHECK PART 1
vedo che sei italiano dal video, come hai messo l'origine sul punto di intersezione di quelle due linee?
+simone calamia
Ciao, quali linee?
le due linee di costruzione verticale e orizzontale che intersecano sull'origine
+simone calamia per l'asse X, devi prendere la metà del segmento che usi per chiudere il trailing edge, o bordo di fuga o di uscita. Per l'asse Y, dalle tabelle del profilo devi trovare il punto di massimo spessore. Una volta tracciate le due linee, selezioni tutto e poi muovi le entità selezionate e le fai coincidere con l'origine degli assi
with plans from the Stodoys, doing something like that was a pleasure.
I prefer to build with Woodprix plans.
first stage isnt even same span as all the others triggered me and wasted my time
Even if is not same span, you solved it. Now you know how to do it and learn something more instead of follow instructions like a sheep. You use your brain, that is my purpose...
