RC Flying Wing (In progress)

thingiverse

I'm designing and building a 3D printed flying wing with a 650mm wing-span, specifically designed to be powered by 22xx motors. I've got something special in mind and plan to push the limits by packing a 4s 5000mah+ battery system inside this aircraft. Initially, I intended to use 18650's and design a removable slot to house two of them in the wings. However, since starting this project, school commitments have taken over, and I'm shifting my focus from ambitious experimentation with batteries to getting this made to fit a 1000mah lipo first. Once it's up and running, I'll work on integrating batteries into the wing. If anyone's interested in following my progress or has features they'd like to see, please let me know. As a poor student, donations are always welcome, and even small amounts can make a big difference. Here's an updated timeline: June 5-7 Design iterations 2 & 3 (this is the second design) Completed: CFD analysis ✓, Wing test print ✓, Flaperon design ✓, Motor housing design ✓ June 7-14 Internal wing support structures and cutouts for carbon support beams ✓ Servo housing design (need to finalize placement and movement) Battery mount housing and circuit design FPV camera housing and internal mounting solution June 14-21 Wiring and electronics setup + flight stability and mixing Test flight
