Help me figure out how much speed my RV can gain by fairing the Pitot Tube. The pitot is made of 3/8" OD aluminium tube, with a 6" length perpendicular to the airstream. That gives a surface area of 3/8" x 6" = 2 1/4 sq inches. My understanding is that the Cd of a cylinder is .5 and the Cd of a...

Hello, I am looking into modifying one of the canard designs like the COZY MkIV and wanted to know what the best way to ensure that what changes I am proposing are sound and will result in a craft that will exhibit similar flight charteristics but with increase in performance (range, gross weight,...

Aeronca 11AC Chief groundloop project just received. Have flying Taylorcraft so this is surplus to my needs. Groundlooped, but welding is 90+% done already. Fabric removed.

With the looks of a rocket, and speed ranges between 225mph tops and 55mph to land, Im thinking this is the plane I want. Going cross country on mpgs better than my truck and in triple time. They say its a trainer too with a first class view. But I'm still not sure what the drive out price is. The...
