Could anyone give me a suggestion of good airplane design consultant
with a reasonable service charge for light/sport airplane conceptual design? A professional design agency would be great, but I believe a graduate student in aeronautical engineering should be able to help me out. I am not an engineer and only have private pilot's paper test level aeronautical knowledge(don't sneer at me. I passed the test in the first try!), but I am now just fascinated with the idea of designing and building and yes, flying my own airplane! I am brainstorming a twin 3/4 seat camper design using two Rotax 912S or Jabiru 3300 with reliability(twin), simplicity(tube and fabric?), ruggedness(tube and fabric and STOL), comfortability(large cabin for two sleeping)and low cost in mind. I know I probably wouldn't have enough money and time to build it anytime soon, but I just can't wait for proving the design and seeing the airplane layed out on the blue print! So now my goal is to get to the first stage: the conceptual and preliminary design. Then I will save money for structure design and stability analysis etc. Finally I hope I can have the construction plan and then from there I can build the plane piece by piece over time. I know nowadays such light airplane design could be totally done on a computer and there're some dirty cheap entry-level airplane design CAD softwares I can play with, but these softwares do need human input with sufficient aeronautical knowledge even though they look like a dummy's software for those enginners who operate 150K REAL airplane design CAD systems. So is there anyone good at any of those softwares like AirplanePDQ or even X-Plane PlaneMaker who would like to help me? Thank you in advance. Shin Gou |
