looks like a great project, and i like the ailerons a lot, although i would be worried a bit about jamming when the wing flexes. I'm sure you thought of that though. what i don't understand is the low wing, the low center of thrust, and the use of turbines instead of say, turboprops. is this a test aircraft for a full scale project? perhaps? what's the application?
Very exciting. Howsabout you boys give birth to an unmanned DC-3, thereby launching a new "Golden Era of Flight"? Kinda take a C27J & a Twin Otter, interbreed them, cut out the "meat", & see what you get. With meat, it might be 8,000kg empty, 13,000kg max takeoff weight. Sacrifice range & speed as necessary to get there, prioritise reliability, maintainability & lowest TCO. Maybe without the meat you can do even better. Maybe similar to a somewhat smaller, meatless version of the upcoming(?) IL-112. Reduce the cost of small air freight service to towns & semi-remote (
Wow this is the another story! Nice one. :)
