My engineering teacher in highschool had us all make paper airplanes to see which ones would glide the furthest. Nobody really made anything too out of the ordinary, but the teacher made a ring wing plane from a straw, a piece of paper, and tape. It flew further than any other design and it blew my teenage mind.

@peoplez129

7 ай бұрын

Actually the best paper airplane design is this: Build a regular paper airplane, then make another one, but stop right before you fold it in half. Then slot that piece onto the top of the first paper airplane, taping them together under the wings. The overall shape is the same, but now you have a wing that opens like a pocket from the back. This creates a really smooth and long range glider, and there's multiple reasons why it performs better. Firstly, air gets pushed in from the front, inflating the wing, creating an area of high pressure, generating lift, while at the same time, also getting even more pressure from the default wing, even though it all behaves as one wing. So it essentially multiplies the high pressure surface area, without increasing the low pressure surface area, which generates more lift. It also fly's very smooth and stable. In a way it's like a ring wing meshed with a traditional wing, giving you the benefits of both with none of the drawbacks.

A yes.. the worst of both worlds. Both the downside of having a very long wing, combined with the downside of having two wings on top of each other. On top of that, the high pressure area on one part is the low pressure on the other part. So its almost like having a anti winglet, that guides air from the high pressure to the low pressure side. Will it fly, absolutely. But it will suck down fuel as if there is no tomorrow.

Just next to it is parts that is have a horizontal component to them, hence generate lift. If they generate lift, they have a low pressure. So this put the low pressure of the lower wing just next to the high pressure of the upper wing. Guiding the pressure to collapse, and that is also true the other way around.

If you cut two strips of paper, both an inch wide but one 4" long while the other is 6" long, then you tape both strips into a circle and attached them to the ends of the straw such that the attachment point of both strips is on the same side of the straw, then throw the "strawplane" with the smaller loop in front, it actually will fly pretty far.

From an engineering perspective it looks challenging. Engine maintenance adds risk, replacing an engine requires special cranes. A circular wing can also flex causing instability. Production or transportation of a ringwing is hard (mildly spoken). No elevator or canard means it’s harder to pitch. Plus it’s going to be a sailboat on crosswind landings. If the ring wing doubles as a fuel tank it’s going to roll over having a CoM that high. My 2cts based on 2min of thinking about it… does look cool though 😊

What seems strange to me, is how high it is made in a true circle. The other examples of both ring and box wing are way more elliptical. You'd think the vertical parts of the ring wing are useless for lift. Given that the aircraft body takes part of the actual lifting flat section, it seems to me like there is more wing not useful for lift than useful, and it increases the tail stabilisers size if attached like this as well.

Might be an idea to make a dual ring wing. The forward ring placement and degree of it might compliment the ring wing behind.

This is SO interesting! When I was a kid in the early 1990s an aerospace engineer visited our school to talk about his job. At one point he asked if we believed he could make a paper airplane with "no wings." He proceeded to make a ring-wing paper airplane and throw it across the gymnasium. It went further than any paper airplane I ever saw. He claimed at the time it would likely be the "future of aviation." Fascinating to me that he would say that given that according to this video the idea was mostly abandoned by that time. I learned how to make the ring-wing paper airplane and used it as a parlor trick to amuse people for years.

When I was a kid I built several toy foam gliders with a trapezoidal connected "box wing" connecting to the top of the vertical tail similar to this ring wing. That sucker flew really well too.

This alone should make it clear that ring wings are not better regarding induced drag.

Yeah, this plane is cool, and the ring wing is unique. But the lift couldn't occur on the vertical part of the wings. Also, what speed would this plane fly at? Probably only 350 mph (550 km/h), as one could only imagine the structural strain of flying faster with sonic compression at higher Mach numbers. There is a reason why airplanes use a swept back wing design when going 500 mph (800 km/h). Hopefully my explanation is good. :)

Wow!!!! How does that thing even get lift and fly. To me, it would be scary just to look at that plane and then to get on one as a passenger. Thanks for the video, take care.

1:28 yep, totally nailed those

Lift is created by the difference between air pressure (related to its speed across the wing surface) between the air just above and just below the wing surface. Bernoulli's principle. A round wing could only create useable lift at the top and bottom of the circle and would be a massive amount of drag without any useable lift at the 3 and 9 O'clock positions. In other words, NO WORKEE.

Imagine looking out the window during a beautiful sunset and all you see is wing

I remember making a ring "football" airplane. It was more weighted on one side of the circumference which made it fly pretty far

My thoughts in the first 10 seconds of the video: "Is that computer generated?" -> "If that's real how the hell is a drone keeping up with that?" -> "Who the hell builds drones that fly that fast?" -> "It has to be an animation."

I bet that thing would need a super long runway to land because it wouldn't generate enough lift at low speeds when takeoff or landing.

Sorry I put the comment in the early beginning of the video, being proud of such a great design from my own country

This is the most normal 787 i’ve ever seen!

7.4 meters is the diameter of the concept, not the circumference. The exact script to the description given here, is read directly from a single description that has been copied and pasted in many articles online, because the original author mistook circumference for diameter. Look at the length of the plane (that’s 52 meters). By the original blueprint for the design, a 7.4 meter circumference, would mean the wing is too small to fit around the cabin… so the cabin would be wider than the wing 😂

Looking at that design.... First time ever saying this, " I'm not gonna request a window seat." Lol.
