We started only this one concept paper. The concept we had in common is to create unique and cool aircraft which can fly. The ideal shape is like the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit. This aircraft has no tail. So it can be easily predicted that controlling this aircraft would be very difficult. And we will also hit the wall on making a weight valance. Anyway we started discussing and calculating various values which are essential for writing an accurate drawing.
In this week, we barely ended up in making an initial three view drawing. No one in this group had an experience of designing aircraft, so we had much trouble in designing. But the resume which Prof. Tsuchiya made for us was very useful and gave good influence to our group-working.
Our problem is that we don’t have a confidence that our aircraft can really fly. We have a little knowledge of aircraft and this special shape. So we have to make some research on the how tailless aircraft fly.

私たちの班はオーソドクスな形の飛行機を作るだけでは飽き足らないという、意欲だけは満ち溢れた人々が集まった班です。皆がかっこいいと思った機体はアメリカのステルス機B-2で結果的に無尾翼機を作ることに落ち着きました。その他、なんとか飛べる機体を作ること、小回りが利きやすいように低速にすること、などをコンセプトとしてはあげました。今週のメインの課題は初期三面図の作成だったので、コンセプトを具体的に形にするためなけなしの知識を総動員して設計に取り組んだ。
なんとかそれらしい三面図は完成したが、なんとも「これは飛ぶ！」と自信を持っていえる気がしない…。どうしても、日頃見慣れない〜係数などの概念の把握にいっぱいいっぱいになってしまった感が否めない。
TAさんからのアドバイスも頂けたので、無尾翼機の仕組みなどちゃんと考えながら改善していきたい。
