@MethaManAircraft this is one of the books that im using

Neat @FlyingThings

@FlyingThings also, what books are you using for reference and learning?

@FlyingThings no probs! I definitely don't know enough yet, but I am friends with an aeronautical engineer (future dr) and am trying to learn as much as possible now about structural integrity and designing something through calculations (the proper way) rather than trial and error...
So I hope I can be helpful and experiment myself. Like that we can share what we learn and succeed in our projects a bit easier!

@ACEPILOT109 glider
It'll be a glider
For now...

@MethaManAircraft thanks for the links man

@DuckMint yeaaah i realized that i'll run into a lot of issues, mostly legality ones with this.
That wont prevent me from building it tho.

Big tip, get this flight approved before even thinking of flying this. Also I would extend your finish date to a couple years, this won't cost $50. This aircraft could potentially cost you thousands.

Screws, bolts, rivets > ($)
Your material whether it be galinium, fibre glass($$) , wood(($-$$) what type)
Canvas fabric($) or carbon fibre($$)
Think about the servos($$$) needed, manual control surfaces are extremely difficult off the ground.
Custom glass bending, ($$$)
That's only the stuff that immediately comes to mind. This is a huge endeavour, I would recommend building a 1:2/1:4 scale mockup rc version first.

Or it’s glider?

Yes!
What do you plan to power it with? And the material to make it?

The general lift equation is cl * 0.5 * rho * v^2 * surface area. cl being the coefficient of lift determined by the aerofoil and rho the air density in Kg/m^3
(cl and surface area interchangeable with cd and frontal area for calculating drag)
also this is for subsonic flow... (wiki)
A good piece of software to get is Xfoils created by MIT students/teachers. It's nice to tinker with aerofoils and find out coefficients of lift and drag for different aerofoils at different aoa's
I can also recommend a vid by the late Samm Sheperd which is my inspiration for my flying wing project...

@FlyingThings your alive!!!

@MethaManAircraft also i have no idea how to calculate lift.
That horten glider style plan sounds nice, i actually thought about constructing a glider flying wing style too, buuut i making a plane with a conventional wing layout might be better for a first

@ThePilotDude yeeaaah i should do that

@FlyingThings Nice! Looking forward to it! I also want to design and build my own glider (Horten style), but I'm not independent enough yet...

That looks epic though, with a proper "blueprint" or in this case white print you might have a chance of it actually flies, just remember that you need to find thermal when flying a glider

@MethaManAircraft
1. Trial and error.
2. Yes
3. I honestly have no idea what order i will build this in
maybe cockpit, then tail, rudder, wings, about in that order
4. Only copying the cockpit since it seems easy to make

What approach are you taking to calculate lift, aerofoil, drag, weight, geometry, etc...
Would you feel like documenting your process for us?
What order are you doing things in?
Are you "copying" the fieseler and seeing if it flies or actually designing it yourself to fly well first hand?

@WarHawk95 as long as it works, the look doesnt really interest me.
I need to make an ugly glider first to grasp the basics of flying, before making a glider that one could call beautiful.
Like the ugly duckling turning into a beautiful swan...

Niiiiiiice!

Dude, are you really gonna build a Reichenberg-like glider ?!?
I wonder how many ppl will think you're crazy...
But that thing looks terible !!!

That's going to be a thicc one.
