Dear Jet - Community,
My name is Jürgen, I'm living in Germany and I would appreciate you posting
a report about my first construction in this forums. I posted it in several
German forums and got positive feedback. Hopefully it will be the same here.
Besides...the Topic is called MiG, because its Made in Germany
Some Background information:
A few weeks ago, on Jetpower trade fair, I met a friend of my father and we
had a little conversatin about Jets. He told me about searching a model that
is more broad in the waistline, so that he has more space to work in inside
the aircraft. Moreover it should have a big hatch, because that would make it
easier to put in the turbine-engine and maintain it.
Speed is less important than the ability to make neat manoeuvers. The Jet
should keep stability in the air and better not pull into the wrong side while it
is doing a vertical side slip. It also would be nice, if the jet is able to take off
and land on a short taxiway.....and will fit into an Volswagen Golf after landing
After a few days I started designing an aircraft that combines all his wishes
and a few more.
I designed a mid-wing aeroplane, that is completely made out of glass fiber
reinforced plastic, with a hatch that is nearly 3ft long. Furthermore I took big
aerobaticairfoils with airbrakes. All moving elevators and exchangeable fins
are also part of my idea. Finally the plane shall have an electric landing gear,
but ut should have the opportunity to fit in a mechanical one, too.
And thats what it looks like:
After getting all measures and thanks to my experiance in work with glass
fibre I am now able to say which weight the plane will have. Therefor I made this measure index.
The first aerodynamic measurements I made with FLZ Vortex. Secondly I built
a small model and sent it to a friend of my father, so that he can pu it into
the windtunnel. after a few days he wrote me his suggestion for improvements
and I directly improved my model.
And here the measures:
Overall length: 2150 mm (84,64 inch)
Wing span: 1750 mm (68,89 inch)
elevator span: 812 mm (31,96 inch)
aerofoil: 90,33 dm²
High from ground: 736 mm (28,97 inch)
weight with P80 and Kerosin 9825 g
area loading 108,77 g/dm²
V Max. about 97 m/s
V while landing with air brake 14,63m/s
I hope you will like it, =)
with best regards Jürgen
