Hi all,
The first of the engines ist finished. Except covering of course. When looking at the pictures i start to wonder how to get the inlet covered.
Maybe it is interesting to notice that the fan unit is not removeable anymore. I can maybe with some luck change the motor. But im not sure about the fan rotor. The fan rotor diameter is 69mm. On the contrary the inlet diameter is only 64mm. The diffusor shape of the inlet (like on the original engine) is the cause for that.
That means, if the fan unit gets damaged, i need to build a complete new engine like seen on the pictures.
Another detail concerning flight control. The Eagle Tree Guardian supports some flight envelope features like on the real Airbus A321. For example: duch roll damping with the rudder, turn coordination, bank angle and pitch angle protection and flight characteristics like on an advanced fly by wire airliner. Of course some adjustment flights might be necessary.
As you see, i am not just trying to pattern the look, i also try to get as close to the real things flight characteristics as possible.
Best regards
Andi
