BWB Gleich Drone 3D model

cgtrader

The sleek design of the BWB Gleich Drone makes it stand out among my other BWB models. Testing in XFLR5 showed that it flies stably without trim with a calculated CG as if the entire model was made of a single material, like foam. However, adding motors on top would shift the cg. A CAD file is available, featuring specially developed positive CM and low-drag profiles at low Reynolds numbers. This drone has great potential for flying fast and control surface layouts show many options. On smaller aircraft with blended wings, you can achieve a more conventional body shape with large fillets where the wing meets the fuselage - although it's less pronounced here. Extensive use is made of Fibonacci design principles throughout. A CAD file including airfoil profiles is provided for both wings and fuselage surfaces. Low-moment, low-drag ribs are part of this High-poly & CAD files version.
