its seems to be that you really dun know anything about aircraft, i suspect you cut and paste somethings and pretend that you wrote it.Originally posted by Fairyland:That's a rather uncoventional arrangement of wings, what looks like a canard plus tail plane! All at 200knots?
It's a modern version of a bi-plane? What's the advantage of this configuration may I ask? Seems draggy to me.......
Well, I guess I'm not into aerodynamics......ya I'm not a pilot too.Originally posted by cavsg:its seems to be that you really dun know anything about aircraft, i suspect you cut and paste somethings and pretend that you wrote it.
so does alot of existing uav designs. the big problem with this a/c is the noise. they could also have improved the payload by removing the canonpy and cockpit and fitting a bigger fuel tank, 26usgal is a bit too little for that kind of engine. this a/c is stable compared to other single piston due to the canard in front.Originally posted by spencer99:As the design is based on a civilian a/c, it should be relatively cheap to build and maintain.
With a larger airframe then conventional UAV, should also be quite easy to install and upgrade sensors and other gizmos.
But I think it will make too large a target! so big. it will be sitting sitting ducks for modern AAA or alert MG gunners.
according to the eagle company website cost of 1 plane is USD138k if built and assembled in aust for commercial purposes. Currently their plant in australia has stopped and moved to melaka, the plant in melaka now able to churn out 30-50 planes a year. Probably cost cheaper now.Originally posted by spencer99:As the design is based on a civilian a/c, it should be relatively cheap to build and maintain.
