Default RE: Will it Fly :)


ORIGINAL: ljhmc

Now that's what I need..a wind tunnel. Why you ask? I am scared to lunch the Starship Enterprise (when it's completed) I'm trying to think of a safe way to test a plateform that was designed in someones mind for space travel and not for the atmosphear. The CG is back behind the engin leaving the disc (total lifting surface) ahead of the power.

Of course I could add another wing structure along the back side of the nacells but then it's not the star ship.

Any ideas????

Lawrence, I've seen a couple of those flying.

Berta, maybe this is some form of "laminar air flow" wing?
