Air-Foil Primer

Anybody interested in the endlessly fascinating art and science of "Air-Foil" design and engineering can check out this excellent primer by aeronautical engineer John Dreese:

http://www.designfoil.com

This is a very informative, well-written and concise overview of air-foil methodology that I highly recommend to anybody considering a DIY airplane or glider project.


BTW, I see that the visitor counter at the bottom of this page is now at 6997. This means, of course, that the fourth-next visitor will trip the counter over to 7001 to instantly qualify to receive a FREE Skyaak Model 3 shipped FREE anywhere on the planet.


No pressure, folks...I am merely drawing your attention to this because I want the lucky person who lands here as visitor #7001 to be 1) aware that you are a winner, and 2) take advantage of the opportunity to accept your prize. It's that simple.

Remember, just send me your copy of the counter pasted in a note to mrgaudet@gmail.com along with your surface a
ddress and we will fix you up!

In the meantime, work is progressing nicely on the latest Skyaak joint project, the R&D of the 1st "Skyaak on demand" to be available soon as a down-loadable scale-model working Skyaak, dubbed the "Deuce".


Watch for the Widget coming soon that will give you immediate access to your very own DIY Skyaak model.


Flies this way >>>>>>>>>>>>

One of the 1st Deuce prototypes, made entirely of regular 8.5" x 11" printer paper tricked out with packing tape and a few paper-clips. This model executes the trademark spinning (on its axis) motion in flight shortly after being launched and tends to keep its nose up for a nice arc-shaped trajectory. Very promising!
