    Cool video! Great for people to understand the basic applications of aerodynamics!

      Thanks a lot Thomas! It felt good for us too, to take a step back and try to see the bigger picture :)

    Excellent work on the drone Wolter.. 30% is huge... well done!

      Thanks a lot Graham! Yeah, that 30% made a big difference, they now fly 90 minutes on a single charge! :)

    Great videos. I'm planing on doing a top speed RC propeller foam plane (or fixed wing drone). What layout would you advise for lowest drag ?

    • @AirShaper

      Hi Alisio, is it purely for top speed? If yes, then you'll probably be flying at a constant angle of attack, which means you can select an airfoil that is very efficient at a very specific angle of attack. Check our video on this: airshaper.com/videos/drone-design-1-selecting-an-airfoil/video/kAXN3MlQxxc - hope it helps!

    Hi @AirShaper How can you reduce the drag coefficient in a UAV?

    • @AirShaper
      @AirShaper  4 года назад +1

      Ah, that can be done in many ways. The most obvious is to work away any extremities & cavities (antennas, landing gear, gaps between body panels). Once you're at a level where everything is super smooth, you may want to start looking at optimizing lift/drag ratios by playing with the airfoil profile (that's more advanced!)

      @@AirShaper okay. I'll try it out
