Venture Aeronautics Project B900 "Boomerang"

27.8k TheFlightGuySP  2.4 years ago

Overview: the B900 "Boomerang" is the first true flying-wing aircraft in the Venture aircraft collection. It has a relatively high weight, and therefore a relatively high takeoff and landing speed. It also has a fairly limited flight time, since it has minimal fuel and the two propeller engines burn through the fuel quite rapidly. The aircraft is very stable, and it can even recover from a stall safely and easily. It's primary purpose is to be an experimental aircraft, but it can be fitted for general aviation purposes by simply increasing the aircraft's amount of fuel.

FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS

Maximum Airspeed (TAS): 250mph, 402kph, 217knots.
Maximum Altitude (UNPRESSURIZED): 12,500ft, 3,810m.
Takeoff Airspeed (IAS)(75% Power): ~115mph, ~185kph, ~100knots.
Landing Airspeed (IAS): ~110mph, ~177kph, ~96knots.

NOTES

The aircraft has slow roll control. Roll input will decrease pitch input, and pitch input will decrease roll input, so use caution while using a mixed roll/pitch input, especially at lower speeds and altitudes. The aircraft's higher drag causes the aircraft to quickly lose speed when engine power is decreased. Throttle input is needed for landing, preferably between 25% and 40% throttle. Use minimal roll input during the takeoff and landing phases to maintain pitch control. The aircraft has slow ground turning capabilities, so you may need to start your ground turn earlier.

    @TheFlightGuySP you'll get more complex trust me lol

    @Kangy Thanks! I'm somewhat familiar with the custom wing process, I just prefer to keep my builds simple (though they slowly seem to be getting more complex).
    But if I do ever decide to make custom airfoil wings, I'll keep that in mind.

    you're going places dude.
    it'd be so cool if you learnt how to build custom wings
    i suggest you pull apart some of the best plat builder's wings you'll learn a tonne off it
    maybe make another post of this to compare how you've gotten better over time?
