Blended/Box Wing Airplane Design

The best flight of the day, but the plane hit a wire fence and broke a propellor.

That would be a good RC model. It seems to have a good glide ratio.

This is a really cool design! Glides very well, even though it's a little under powered.

Probably the easiest way to increase thrust is to use a higher cell count lipo, or if you're okay with soldering a wire harness; you can create a lipo battery in series... which essentially doubles the voltage for two of the same spec lipo batteries. The trade-off here is flight duration for more throttle ( speed ). Just be sure your ESC's, Motors and Props can handle the higher cell count without melting! LOL

The other solution is upgrading your electronic propulsion setup... higher cell count lipo's, higher cell capacity / amperage ESC's, higher Kv motors, and props that fit the electronic propulsion profile of the motors in relation to the higher lipo cell count.

Now for actual aircraft control, you could increase the elevon deflection controls. Usually rc flying wings don't have rudders, but your experimental model here does. You could create vertical drag rudders to help supplement yaw authority along with the elevon control surfaces and thrust differential between the two motors. Thrust differential does require some channel mixing in your transmitter to setup though; but it's worth trying without having to modify the existing air frame.

For a one-off design, that you just so happened to throw together; there seems to be a LOT of potential!!

Well done!!

Honey, we're going to need a bigger ranch.

This cool I think it has potential nice design

[docwunder]

Use your Transmitter to change the direction. 😉😁👍

It is really beautiful, will you share the plan?

[mgilbert]

I'd love to build one of these- any chance of some closeup pics and/or dimensions?

[jamesomega]

Just came across this. What a beautiful design! What ended up happening with it? Did it ever get a stronger power system?

[janhavikore]

Its awesome can you please tell how to make it
I'm really looking to make something like this can you please help

Looks to be underpowered and uncontrolled - glide is fantastic, but even with the motors running, it's still behaving like a chuck-glider, not a powered and controlled aircraft.

It’s been a year since this video. Any additional progress? Thanks
