Forged is stronged for complex shapes that you dont have a custom weaved mat for. The chopped fiber soup gives a random layout that helps prevent weak points caused by poor weave alignment in the mat with complex geometries. You could layer multiple standard weave mats in the correct orientation for each section of part, but that adds weight and thickness for the overlaps. You can also make custom weaves so that it aligns with the part geometry, but that adds a lot of cost and complexity.

Matt, that small triangular piece in front of vertical stabilizer is a leading edge root extension. At high yaw angle it creates a stron Vortex that energies the airflow impacting the main stabilizer increasing the critical angle of attack thus preventing a stall and increasing directional stability. The same principle is used in many modern fighter jets in front of main wings - F18s etc. When pulling hard manouvers you can observe vortices shedding and condensation on the main wing. Notice how they are still attached to the wing even at extremely high angles of attack. It is important to encorporate this design into your land speed car as it will help you not spin ass forwards

Those intermediaries are, if I remember correctly, actually pretty much an extension to the vertical stabilizer.

He said, to be confident in your design you should have at least one of these: 1. Experimental proof that it works (TIW) 2. Robust simulation TIW 3. An expert says TIW and why 4. Someone else who actually researched it does it that same way. 5. If it’s fucked you can easily pivot to something else that works (but is probably more expensive) So your stabilizer transition thing is legit under article 4!

1:11 It keeps the air attaches to the rudder at high yaw angles, like a LERX. The high sweep virtually decreases the Angle of Attack to the incoming airflow, lowering the chances of stall. At very high angles, it may even generate a vortex, with similar positive effects. Structurally, it increases the contact area with the fuselage, securing the rudder in its place. As for forged carbon, it was conceived to eliminate the manual labor involved in normal carbon fiber manufacturing, lowering its cost. It's called "forged" because it supposed to be pressed on the mold by a press-forge, which would also cure it. It's a strong material, but not as strong as regular carbon fiber. But it surely looks shiny and glamorous.

The transition from the fuselage to the vertical tail has no aerodynamic advantage. A professor in engineering school told us it was the result of needing to increase the tail area for lateral stability after the initial design and/or test flights were performed. It was cheaper to add this structure than redesign the empennage completely. It may also allow a lower tail height to reduce roll coupling.

@Kalimerakis

Ай бұрын

Thats also what I remember. In some twin engine planes (don't remember which) they added it after switching to more powerful engines, as it needed more longitudinal stability for engine-out scenarios. Also it does have the aerodynamic advantage of adding stability, I don't know if it has the advantage of reducing drag. Probably not as a longer chords (low aspect ratio) generally are less efficient in the lift to drag ratio. It might be structurally more stable as there is less of a lever arm and more area attached to the fuselage.

For low-part-count MDF molds, using epoxy on the MDF to seal it works pretty well. For surface prep, Partall-wax is pretty great. For keeping the epoxy out of the threads, I've found that coating the threads in wax works pretty well.

Fun fact: the main reason most GA aircraft's vertical stabilizers aren't just rectangular in planform is that marketing found that tapered and swept vertical stabilizers sold better. For manufacturers like Mooney the tail profile is simply part of the brand image, like how BMW uses kidney grilles. All that being said, the dorsal fin does help keep the vertical stabilizer from stalling at high side slip angles.

Aside from the sandwich, the other inclusions are actually really cool looking and i liked them a lot.

The ramp in front of the vertical stabiliser develops a vortex at the intersection which keeps the airflow attached at high angles of attack. I would guess that this is a good thing for a race car

never watched your videos before but i effing love every bit of this

The sandwich brainfart. Were you trained at Boeing by any chance?? All hail the algorithm.

The intermediate part before the rudder is a vortice generator exactly like a delta wing, it causes a large notice to generate at high angles which increases drag in the back of the aircraft and increases the stabilizing lift force by up to 80pct over just having the plain rudder alone. This was discovered around the time of WW2 but not understood at all until the 60s, by the 70s it was being built into the strakes of combat jets like the f-16 and f-18

Btw - the purpose of those fins on aircraft - called Dorsal Fins - is to add yaw stability, not to reduce drag. The drag caused by the intersection - called intersection drag in the aircraft world - is minimal in this case. A great resource in understanding this stuff is Mike Arnold's videos on the AR-5, which can be found on KZread.

Easily one of your best KZread videos so far, and that's saying something.

The long transition-y bit is a leading-edge root extension, they help keep the wing (or tail) un-stalled at higher angles of attack. On fast jets they're usually on the wing and result in being able to do more top gun type things; on slow jets on the tail, I think they help prevent and recover from spins and other 'stalled tail' situations where there's a big apparent crosswind, which is potentially a very bad day. On the land speed car, I *hope* the plan is to not run it with a 90mph crosswind (seems sketchy but idk) so it should be less of an aerodynamic factor and more of a coolness-enhancing one; there might be some benefits to moving the tail's centre of pressure a bit lower. A short literature search has turned up nothing on the merits of a ham sandwich for yaw stability, but I hope the Ig Nobel committee is paying attention.

@mememaster147

What's particularly annoying about the term is that you can actually forge carbon fiber, using heat and/or compression molding to control and improve fiber alignment. The thing everyone calls "forged" carbon fiber is just basic chopped compression molding.

3d printed parts usually shrink a bit, although the exact amount is dependent on the material used. Some slicers can be configured to account for this, but in my experience, for critical tolerances it is usually easier to account for this shrinkage during modeling and test the most critical dimensions (for example friction fits for bearings) with some test prints. AFAIK, shrinkage is a common phenomenon in all plastics, and can even be much more severe in other processes (like injection molding).

The shrink (or expansion) depends on the material used, I think he's using ABS which shrinks/warps quite a bit during the print, but for example Silk PLA will foam the tiniest bit and if you flow calibrate it you'll usually end up with lower flow values than other PLAs. You can calibrate dimensions quite well otherwise, but worst case you print measure and adjust in the slicer settings.

My Uncle used to hand sculpt sand cast masters. He said it took many revisions to the mold to get the final dimensions correct for the same reason. When he said 'printed it 7/10s of 1% bigger I just imagined the amount tme and work that kind of adjustment used to take.

Absolute video perfection like usual!

No, that transition on the vertical is to add direction stability. The engine was made bigger requiring more vertical area and rather than redoing the surface they added the transition part. It's about cost, not better. Reusing exiting tooling. The aerospace industry uses fiberglass between the metal and carbon fiber to prevent galvanic corrosion. Simply wrap your aluminum spars with some 2 oz glass before putting in the mold.

Why you don't use pressure washer to remove food from your carbon fiber?

The end product looks really clean, hilarious!

Went into this video expecting frustration, came out with a huge smile. Thanks Matt!

This was more wonderful than I could have ever asked for

I love your dry sort of humor and would like to have my posting glued inside one of your artworks. At last I like most the story from the pikes peak, allaround. my garage is also full of projects and I watch your videos, which are grat!, and hope to find some inspiration and motivation. hand

Damn, nearly 400k subscribers. Feels like it was yesterday when I discovered this channel.

thanks for sharing your discovery with all of us!

Even though we will never agree that food is somehow ‘funny’ when literally incorporated into technical projects, I’ll continue to watch for now 😂🤣😂😂🤣😂

'Engineered wood' includes a lot more than just OSB, MDF and chipboard. Plywood, LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber'), Blockboard, CLT ( Cross Laminated Timber), fancy finger-jointed window frames, Glulam beams. It may be kind of crummy at the bottom end (actually OSB is generally amazing) but the nice stuff really is engineered quite a lot and has impressive characteristics. But well done on the silliness of filling your forged part with random crap. Classic.
