Testing & Results

Testing Procedure
  • Ensure the airplane will fly with the added weight
  • Demonstrate flow reattachment at the wingtips
Testing Results
  • On Sat 22 March, 2008, we flew the airplane with the assistance of another pilot at the Seminole RC Club Airfield. He helped us trim the airplane with the added weight
  • Flow Reattachment Demonstrated!

  • Videos of the testing in the lab (before take-off) and those taken from the ground simultaneously with the video captured on-board will be posted soon. We are trying to acquire sound from the video camera but are experiencing difficulties
Proposed Future Work
  • Demonstrate roll control at small α's using microjets on one entire wing
  • Measure the reduction in minimum (landing) flying speed
