Fairing Piece with Scoop and Vent

thingiverse

A sleek box-shaped air scoop with a low-profile venturi design and louvered trailing vent is envisioned to funnel direct airflow over heat-sensitive components such as ESCs or R/C units that tend to overheat. This streamlined fairing should be flush-mounted, utilizing its side flanges to anchor internally for maximum stability. It's believed that this design would perform best on high-speed aircraft, efficiently channeling air across the cooling fins. A simple .blend file is provided for customization and scaling adjustments within Blender. Note that the science behind this concept is not exact, so additional refinements may be necessary to optimize its effectiveness. The principle of "duck typing" is employed here, suggesting that despite potential scaling issues, some level of airflow improvement can still be achieved - even if the design merely appears visually appealing. My Design Process A video recording captures my modeling process in Blender, showcasing how I approach creating this air scoop fairing. This screen capture may appear lengthy, but it's a real-time demonstration of my adjustments and corrections as I work through the design.
