Hence Generator, we don t places need next to make to the a engine. new control system. The Transmitter and Receiver were placed arbitrary to balance the moment. Self-destruct Mechanisms: 1 placed near the camera, 2 placed on the transmitter and receiver and 3 was placed for balance and will detonate towards the fuel tank. Fuel Tank changed due to the rest of the configuration.

13 Gondola influences on the flow and aerodynamic performance: Drag Roll Yaw Pitch Side force Lift Model scaling The chosen scale is 1:25 Wind tunnel constraints: Wingspan must not exceed 65cm Cross section area must not exceed 5% of the wind tunnel s cross section.

14 CAD model General surface geometry (Parasolid) was received. Surfaces were translated to solid bodies Wind model creation process The scale was changed (1:25). Gondola geometry (including configuration) were created. The model was prepared for RP printing. 14

15 Assembly Gondolas and other parts were connected with bolts and nuts. Nuts were fixed on the plastic surfaces with glue. Nut 15

16 Balance connector assembly It was decided to connect the balance connector and wing reinforcement. Usually axisymmetric balance connector is used. It was decided to design original connector to accomplish this task. 16

17 Balance connector assembly The back of the model is holed to install a balance. The hole diameter was chosen to enable possible balance displacements. 17

19 Wind tunnel test preliminary calculations Based on plane s and gondola s geometric properties only, the following results were obtained: Drag, CD : 5% Lifting slope, C : Nochange L 3 Pitch moment, CM : 1.3 *10 absolutevalue Pitching slope, CM : Nochange Windcock, C :6% Roll, C : 9% Side force, C : 3% 0 N L Y

20 Wind tunnel test process The following tests were done: Alpha- sweep to obtain plane s longitudinal characteristics Beta- sweep to obtain plane s lateral characteristics These tests held in three configurations: Clean plane Short gondola Long gondola Smoke and tuft tests to understand the flow inside the cavity of the open gondola.
