areo-namics project sea bear

59.7k PapaKernels  4.2 years ago

project sea bear is a highly experimental aircraft that is providing to be the next generation of carrier aircraft. at first glance it looks like it has short and stubby wings but if you vtol up the wings will pop out of the shorter stubby wing and you got a full airfoil. its a really cool concept that i though could have been a good alternative to folding wings. if it couldn't work irl then give me a reason why it wouldn't but make it so i can actually understand it. But it flies pretty good just before you takeoff make sure trim is set all the way down. Once it gains speed though it wont need as much trim but for takeoff if it isn't all the way down when you let go of the pitch it'll nosedive and most likely into the ground just depends on your height.

Vtol up- extend wings
Normal flight controls

More versions of this will be made but those will be better than this. This was just a proof of concept build.

    @ACEPILOT109 yea I was thinking that would be one of the restraints. Just invent a new type of metal its fine, cant be that hard right?

    It seems unlikely, the strength would be weak. Because that wing is inside that wing you cant put a strut, so it would be a very delicate wing, but im sure someone thought of it

    @ACEPILOT109 it's a pretty neat concept. I wonder if anybody else thought of it like during ww2
