 Any idea how I can find out some information on this airplane. I
need a drawing on the landing gear. I looked all over the web
and the info is scarce at best.

I have very little info. Just a few pictures.
 Performance was bad given the amount of HP it had.
 Not surprising for any ducted fan.
 The drag of the duct starts to outweigh the advantages starting around
 130 MPH and up.

Though I do appreciate your response with performance graphs and
drag COE for  ducted fans. My quest is for the LANDING
GEAR......... Not the ducted fan or any other  aspects of this airplane.
 I thought maybe somebody in the group may know someone in the
Thailand area  that could snap a few pics for me of the LANDING
GEAR......  if not may have to  fly there myself and have a look.

There are other people on here that might be interested once
they see a picture of such an unusual airplane.
The landing gear is straight forward and used by several other airplanes.
 It simply rotates 90 degrees up into the wing along a
longitudinal axis. The same as the ME109 except the ME109 legs
are straight.

Tony,
Are you interested in copying the ducted fan airplanes landing
gear exactly?  Perhaps you are interested in the principle of the
mechanics so you can design  the components yourself?
My Seawind has a similar bent gear design that folds into the
fuselage and  wings.  I have hard copy illustrations of all the
parts.  I've won't be using  the parts and have redesigned my gear
to fold into the wings. Those components  will be much too heavy for
your plane.Doug in Japan

You bet can you send me some info on those gear please.

Thanks
Tony



Hi Tony,

The gear on a Velocity also looks similar. I have no info or drawings. Some
others on this site may have them.
