Unstable Birb (Teaser)

14.4k AYEDAYE  4.0 years ago

"The Most Aerodynamically Unstable Aircraft Ever Built"

-DARPA

It actually has it's CoM behind the CoL, but just ever so slightly, flown and held together with Love, Fly-by-wire and composite wings

I initially wanted the CoM further back the CoL, but without knowledge on Funky Trees, I just used an existing fly-by-wire command available online, and altered the positions of the CoM and CoL to make this forward swept birb fly

Coming Soon (Maybe? I still need to work on it's livery and cockpit)

    I hope I can @ChiChiWerx , or else some online stability equation will do

    FT is fairly easy, I’m sure you could figure out a good stability equation. It could be something as easy as a rotator with a movement associated with an output =“-angle of attack*pitchrate” or something similar may work.

    The first image reminds me of a thumbnail I found on YouTube

    Yes whahahaha, maybe hundreds or thousands of flight corrections per second will do the trick instead of the default 40 per second @Numbers
