Things I’m working on

Models, experiments, and notes from the workshop.

VTOL aircraft concept

A 1,400 mm span aircraft model with four lift motors, movable control surfaces, and landing gear. I’m still working through the design and checking what needs to change.

Control surfaces

The ailerons, elevators, and rudder can move in the Fusion model. The servo linkages still need to be worked out and tested physically.

Current files

The motor and propeller shapes are placeholders for checking fit. The mass and thrust figures are estimates. This model has not been tested in CFD or flight.
