    In this presentation we are going to discuss about RC delta
    wing planes. Which is basically a small model radio-
    controlled airplanes that uses electric motor to generate
    thrust. The RC Airplanes are flown remotely with the help
    of a transmitter with joysticks that can be used to fly the
    aircraft and perform different maneuvers. Also we will get
    to know about its design and other features in the
    upcoming presentation.
    INTRODUCTIO :
    N
    • A delta wing is a wing shaped in the form of a triangle. It is named
    for its similarity in shape to the Greek uppercase letter delta (Δ).

    • Delta wings are of particular interest because of their lift generation


    mechanism.

    • The delta wing form has unique aerodynamic characteristics and


    structural advantages. 

    •  Many design variations have evolved over the years, with and
    without additional stabilising surfaces.
    Delta wing history :

    • Until the 1930s the vast majority of aircraft featured rectangular,


    trapezoidal or elliptical wings.

    • Delta wings started being studied in the 1930s by Alexander Lippisch


    in Germany.

    • Lippisch wanted to create tail-less aircraft, and Delta wings were one
    of the solutions he proposed.

    • After the second world war, the potential of Delta wings for
    supersonic flight was recognized both in the US and the USSR.
    Design variations :

    TAILLESS DELTA TAILED DELTA CROPPED DELTA

    COMPOUND DELTA CRANKED ARROW OGIVAL DELTA


    Benefits of a delta wing:
    • Due to the large root chord, a delta wing combines low relative wing thickness with a
    sufficiently thick wing spar for a lightweight structure. Since a low relative thickness keeps 
    wave drag down, this makes delta wings especially attractive for supersonic aircraft.

    • The large root chord gives the delta wing a high internal fuel volume even at a low relative
    thickness.

    • The large root chord also provides it with a large surface area which helps to bring the
    minimum speed of the aircraft down.

    • With sufficient leading edge sweep, a delta wing produces vortex lift, so flow separation can
    be turned into a means of increasing lift.

    • A delta wing is naturally stable in pitch, therefore it does not require a separate tail surface.
    Drawbacks of a delta wing:
    • The large wing area causes more viscous drag for the same amount
    of lift compared to a high aspect ratio wing. Swept wings have a
    better lift-to-drag ratio (L/D) than delta wings.

    Low speed performance :


     Although Delta wings are designed for high speeds, they still have to take
    off and land at small airspeeds.
     It is important to determine the aerodynamic forces acting on Delta
    wings at low speed.
     The lift generated by such wings are low speeds can be split into two
    contributions:
    – Potential flow lift
    – Vortex lift
    ABOUT MODEL :
    Our Model is a versatile flying wing to fly with a large central bay that offers lots
    of space to hold batteries, and all electronics. The plane is built of durable and
    strong coro sheets , and is very easy to build and flies just awesome.

    Delta wing is a tail less fixed wing aircraft that has no definite fuselage flying
    wings have the most efficient aircraft configurations from the aerodynamic point
    of view and structural weight . The main advantage of this type of tailless aircraft
    is the high lift to drag ratio .

    In this model we have incorporated the main design of this aircraft into a efficient
    radio controlled model weighing approximately 850 grams and having maximum
    thrust of 9.8 N. and also can be used to carry extra pay load of 150gm of weight
    easily due to its large fuselage compare to other RC delta wing aircraft.

     The design methodology followed to built this model is different from traditional one.

     It is easy to built when compared to other aircraft model.

     It is stable in configuration due to reflex given .

     It has low structural weight and highly durable and can withstand for long duration.

     It has good endurance and nominal range .

     Due to its large fuselage it can carry extra pay load .
