nye said:as a uni project we hav to make a lightweight airplane running on renewable energy..does anybody hav any ideas or sites tht might b useful??and also, a site where i can easily get the schematic or circuit diagram for a RC control system for the plane..
So the challenge here is the aerodynamics of the airplane.nye said:they hav jus told tht we hav to build the plane..im not sure whether we can buy the parts or hav to assemble it on our own..i suppose to make it lightweight we hav to do it on our own right?
RC electronics, i was tihnkin we can make it on our own or buy it from a model or electronic shop..can u suggest anything??
no of channels...hmm..sill not sure..
budget is about 2000 australian dollars for the whole thing..
we need to have the solar panels on the wings..there'll b a brushless DC motor, and a lithium battery to giv the bursts of power needed for take off..they also told tht a special featuer will b its low speed and low drag..
Yes. Where are they going to find ordinary electronic stuff in their country? Shoot down an American satellite?3v0 said:I have been had.
audioguru said:Make an "over unity" electric airplane. Use one motor to propel it and use a second motor with its prop in the airstream as a generator for the propulsion motor. Then you don't need a solar panel nor a battery.
Perhaps you should change your location.nye said:this is true..i DID NOT JUST ask u guys for help for nothin..I AM a first year uni student so this was the first time i had the time to come online since i posted it..we hav to submit our proposals by friday, and i still hav to meet with the other memebers of the group..besides, abt audion guru's comments sayin, 'where am i going to find the stuff??' for your information, sri lanka has quite a few places where u can find electronic stuff..we're not some primitive country as u think we are..and btw..im not in sri lanka anymore..im in AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!otherwise why do u think i was talkin in AUSSIE DOLLARS???it would b appreciated if ppl were a bit more tolerant...we have no choice and i chose this project..
