Model	Tailfan
Units	Feet
Description	The NASA Tailfan (also known as the Civetta) was an aircraft designed by Andrew Hahn to achieve a 4x reduction in manufacturing cost. This cost reduction was a result of using low cost LS-1 auto engine coupled to a direct drive ducted propeller. The Tailfan was also designed to be very low noise. The aft portion of this vehicle was built full-scale by Munro and Associates, and tested for static thrust and noise results.
Source Quality	2 - The source material used to create this model was Essentially Exact. This means detailed dimensions and drawings were used to create the model.
Model Suitability	1 - Check internal layout/volume 1 - OML for wetted areas/drag buildup 1 - Cartoon or Pretty Picture 2 - Weight and balance 2 - Structures 2 - Accurate OML for detailed aerodynamic analysis or CFD
