| Description | Flying wing was designed and build by ITA students for SAE Brasil AeroDesign Competition 2016, advanced Class. It has MTOW of 24 kg at 60 meters of takeoff runway, 5 minutes of flight autonomy using electric propulsion from Schubeler DS-51-DIA HST Edf Engine with 15S MaxAmps LiFePo4 batteries. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T3ytnXpro8 We use OpenVSP to predict Structural Inertia, CoG and empty weight for our Optimization algorithm. We Designed internal structures using Conformal elements, this model don't have it. |

Nice design! Flies pretty well too. But I think it needs more power, maybe a twin EDF, and also a smaller height on the airfoil section (more sleek to cut the air ) whilst maintaining the same lift area of the wing. On the other hand I really like the idea of using an EDF on a delta wing, and the landing gear is awesome! Last but not least you`ve made a good choice with the LiFe batteries (more weight but safer). Have a nice day!
