Marko,
Can we see a picture of your flying wing, sorry I was
confused. George ( down under)
George,
my flying wing design is not public, i need to patent some
issues before or find some information disclosing strategy.
i wrote in my first email that i prototyped the wing from
scratch and managed have 1/2 scale R/C models perform rolls
at more than 1000°/sec, control in post stall up to
40-50° alpha, make reverse backward flying like the one
you do in a car while pulling the handbrake in a tight turn,
and other fancy tricks.
stall speed of the manned thing should hit ~ 80 km/h (44
KTS, 50 mph) as is, a reduction to 65 km/h is in study
(limit for ultralight certification here in europe, though i
seriously doubt this thing can be put in the ultralight
category due to its aerobatic performance). top speed with a
100 HP engine should be around 480 km/h (260 KTS, 300 mph
(!))
the wing is just a single surface flying wing with rudders
somewhere and a pusher propeller. no "vector thrust", no
artificial stability whatsoever, no servomechanism (for the
manned wing, the R/C has servoes of course), nothing else. i
have never seen something similar before and all the things
that make difference in performance are coming from me.
obviously, to be demonstrated :-)
Glenn wing is the twin wing Ligeti Stratos, a public wing
with a very interesting "open source" policy behind it, you
can find here

This is an engineering newsletter. As such it requires a dwg of
a proposal so it can be evaluated by your peers.
Anybody can claim anything if they don't present an engineering dwg.
For an example. I can say I just invented a 200 HP engine that burns only 2
gallons an hour and not tell you why. How do you think that would be received?
Frankly your claims of 300 mph on 100 HP are unrealistic.
It indicates a fundamental lack of understanding of the physical principles
involved.
