I'm not an aeronautical engineer or anything... but the downwash from the rotors onto the large fixed undermounted wings on the RSRA test model is some serious WTF, no?
- engineer_22 5y agoThe test aircraft was designed to see whether the coanda effect would produce the lift and controllability they desired. The rotor for that aircraft would be fixed. They didn't intend for VTOL with the model that had fixed wings, they would fly it like a regular airplane and see how she handled.
