#DEVLOG 0.2 – Wing Design In this devlog, I would like to announce that I have completed the initial shape of the wing. After extensive research, I identified the CLARK Y airfoil as the ideal choice for my aircraft due to its favorable performance and ease of use.
I attempted to run a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation on the wing, but I couldn’t complete it due to the high complexity of Autodesk CFD (which is understandable, given that it is highly advanced, professional-grade software). In a future update—possibly in the next DEVLOG—I will share the lift and drag data for the wing. I fully recognize the importance of this simulation, as it allows us to evaluate the aircraft’s flight feasibility upfront and determine whether it will fly or stall/crash before any physical testing.
The airfoil coordinates were sourced from http://airfoiltools.com.
In DEVLOG 0.3, I will begin designing the airframe/fuselage, followed by the tail assembly and the nose section in subsequent updates (including a rigid motor mount capable of handling high structural loads).
Note for this devlog: AI assistance was used to translate this text, troubleshoot the CFD software, and calculate the aircraft dimensions (saving time on complex aerodynamic formulas).
