Happy u like out project! To answer your question stability is achieved with dragrudders similar to those found on the B2. With the computer technology available today you should be able to take full advantage of the system and gain the same stability as with a normal tail. Also this configuration will reduce the overall drag caused by friction that is especially high in supersonic flight, thus gains in reduced thrust required for supersonic cruise..u see the big picture Success to u too mates!
We set the cruise altitude at the same level as the Concorde and it flew with Rolls Royce Olympus engines, the only engine that we found that met our requirements was the General Electrics F414 engine. It can be found in the F-18 Super-Hornet and JAS 39 Gripen NG. Skin temperature was a concern, but our calculations showed that at Mach 1.8 the skin temperature would be about 55 degrees Celsius at that altitude.Part of the aircraft is built with carbonfibre composites.
well, that would be a new Concorde, and there is unfortunately no market for that kind of capacity today. This plane is specified to fly from Paris to New York at Mach 1,7 at an altitude of 60000 ft with 12-15 passengers and 3 crew. Glad you liked our plane.
Think B2 Spirit, dragrudders instead of a tail, a tail will contribute with a lot of unwanted drag especially at supersonic flight. Instead we have dragrudders or maybe directional controll with the engines, thataway the drag will decrease. good luck with your project. I recommend X-Plane for testing your plane, kind of cool enginnering tool
Beautiful concept.. But that tailless canard structure.. seems so directionally unstable, how did you deal with that? Beautiful fuselage, and name. Congratulations for the design. I´m on aeronautical eng. college too, my group is designing a military attack fighter. Wish you succes mates!
More exposed parts like the nose of the fuselage and the leading edge of the wings are made of more durable materials like aluminum and titanium. This was a purely theoretical concept study for a course, so unfortunately there are no plans to take this project any further.
Thanks! Glad you liked it. =)
Thanks, glad you liked it. Unfortunately we haven't got any sponsors willing to invest in this project.
cool plane!

The issue about stability is explained on the first page of the comments.

Hi, please read the description.

@cod4eagle95 sometime they use front stab like in the video instead of rear one that what the wright brothers did
