Forward Swept Canard Effects on Low Subsonic Airframe

  • Thread starter Thread starter Raptor712
  • Start date Start date
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the aerodynamic implications of forward swept canards on low subsonic airframes operating at speeds of 60 to 120 knots. Key concerns include potential instability caused by vortices being directed towards the fuselage, which could affect control and performance. The impact of this configuration on lift and drag characteristics is also examined, with emphasis on how it may alter the aircraft's handling qualities. Participants are encouraged to share insights from their readings on this wing design. Understanding these effects is crucial for optimizing aircraft performance and safety.

What are the implications of having a forward swept canard on a low subsonic airframe designed to operate around ~60-~120 knots? Will it cause instability due to the vortex being directed towards the fuselage?

Welcome to the PF.

What has your reading so far indicated? What have you been reading about this wing configuration?
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
