Flying wing 54"-- with vortex generators
This is a build log for a 54" flying wing with a blended fuselage Made out of Styrofoam and hotwired Wing Span - 54" Airfoil - MH 64 Root chord - 14" Tip chord - 7" The wings were hotwired out of styrofoam based on a MH 64 airfoil. The spar was a strip of 1X3 carbon fiber glued in a shallow groove on the top and bottom surface of the wing. The two strips of CF act like a I beam with the foam in between, and being very strong in tension, makes a very rigid wing. There was a central section 6.5" wide fuselage, which was blended with the wings. This would help by having more space for power train & electronics The CFs extended into the central section , which gave more rigidity and strength and intregrated the wings and fuselage better The LE was covered with very thin fiber glass to reinforce it against dents A view of the wings and fuselage joined together.. note the space being cut for electronics and battery.. . this would lat...
