Follow up: my AirVenture presentation
I presented "Drag, Speed and Prop Design" (or power and drag..) at Airventure 2012, Friday 27 July, 11:30 a.m. in the Homebuilder's Hangar:
What comes after the Norris Zero Thrust Glides? 2010's talk was about how to find your airplane's drag curve. 2011 was the Triangle Tool & how it helps with prop design. This year's presented Version 3.1 of the Triangle Tool with an induced drag cross-checker, flight test methods and case studies from real life, including the NASA-CAFE Green Flight Challenge.
I did put the slides on my website ahead of time, but the real value of the show was the show & tell part with live use of the tool.
I did get more than a dozen to come and two or three were really intrested, so it was good.
Here is the link to the whole thing and a RV6A case study I just added.
I am probably going to keep on improving it and I will post a note when I do.
