This is dope

I'm no expert, but that looks like a pretty sharp radius on the leading edge. I wonder if that would hurt efficiency if the angle of attack isn't head on. Super cool idea, I look forward to where this leads!

Have fun at the conference. This is looking really good, great concept.

Thanks! Will do!

I see you like king gizzard. also love the drone tech your working with

great concept. well done and keep going.

I really liked the video, subscribed to see more!

Looking forward for next improvement

if you're looking for efficiency, one longer wing would work better, esp if inbetween the rotorwash.

Great project, and very interesting configuration 👍🏻 Is this your very first foray into ArduPilot? If so, you really jumped into the deep end!

Yup! Excited to learn more about it 😃

Can you share your Onshape design to me? I would like to make a copy and improve a few things before trying it.

The downwash flow of the propeller is quite different from the upcoming flow , I don’t think it’s necessary to change the incident angle if the wing is hiding behind the downwash disks of the propellers.

@Peter Was thinking that a Wing that was self orienting with the air-flows direction could work better. (Think wind vane) Where the air flows pressure on each side of the wing would adjust the its facing to balance the pressure. This would remove the need to use a servo and thus simplify the design.

equal pressure on each side means it's not making any lift - but it could still work using a "zero pitch airfoil" where the centre of lift is coincident with the centre of gravity.

any suggestion for make a toys?

I get the reasoning, but it does take away some of the elegance of your original designe. also, the usecase seams limited to me. I see how this might increase efficiency in slow forward flight. obviously I wont tell you what to do, you are way better in this stuff than I am. But are you interested in what direction of development would make me happy?

Super, i wanna build for my self, would you share it on github?

@@peterryseck Any yet? I want to see if this works!

is it really efficient ? As the wake due to rotor would not be laminar on the wing, so will it be able to generate lift in the way an isolated wing would have generated in free stream flow at some angle of attack. If you have done some research, then please share. I would love to contribute, ut looks interesting if it can be made efficient.

Yeah great point, there is a trade-off here between loss of thrust from rotor interference with the wing and wing stall. That's why collecting power & airspeed data for the different configurations will be important.
