About Me:
I am an aerospace graduate that is trying to get int the industry.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Right now I plan to launch aggressive projects that will demonstrate to the aerospace industry what I can do, and how useful the skills I posess really are.

"In setting up the Kickstarter for this project, what do you think would be a good reward to offer people? I'm a little stumped with that.
Here is what they won't allow.
Rewards not directly produced by the creator or the project itself
Financial…"

"No, I have learned from documentaries, AND my classes how airplane designs have evolved throughout the years. I just was pointing out how I've been reminded that when you go fast enough the entire fin of a control surface has to move in order to be…"
"1) What you are referring to is a diffuser, which I DO intend to use. I plan on using a bottleneck type diffuser, where it enters quickly and slows down before reaching the compressor.
2) Wait a minute. Don't they do wind tunnel testing on…"

"1) Let me rephrase this yet again. Imagine a jet engine without a turbine, and instead the compressor is driven entirely by electricity. Everything else is the same. I don't expect the EDF ALONE to reach supersonic speed, that is what the burners…"
"This is the most absurd discussion EVER!
Try me.
If V Logger can make JUST an liquid fueled engine, with fuel supply, weighing < 10 Lbs, that can burn for one minute, with a static thrust of > 50 Lbs, and exhaust velocity better than 1600 MPH...…"

"Your entertainment value may not turn out how you think."
"What altitude did team Prometheus reach?"
"I'll reply to your other comments later. For now let's focus on the engine.
Imagine a RAMJET, but not quite. The only difference is that there is an electric fan near the front to provide static thrust. Other than that it would be identical to a…"

"Are there any FPV signal range boosters? And what do you mean "your FPV camera probably won't even be able to see anything moving that fast." Is it something to do with frame-rate issues?
But yes I am considering using a GPS system to confirm the…"

"Again wingspan around 3 feet or 1 meter. So far I'm thinking the weight will be about 10 lbs or 21 kg.
As to where it will be flown supersonically, I was hoping you can fill me in on that. I guess I could fly it over the ocean, where supersonic…"

"Airframe design:
Almost a flying wing with a lengthy fuselage for the engine assembly. The wing tips will be the tails, and the elevons will be mounted on top of them. Also the wings will be swept back at a 45 degree angle. What type of airfoil type…"

"Funny you should mention that because for the next project I was thinking about something that could reach space. It would not be a sustained orbit just a sub-orbital lob. As for propulsion it would be a variation between a rocket and ramjet,…"
"I know it will be difficult, but I went to school for this and for once I want to use my degree for something.
So what formulas and design information would you like to know? The platform is not strictly a flying wing or tailless. The wingtips are…"

"Crowdfunding? What's that? And I doubt I can sell these things for $99."
"My posts indicated it IS fueled by alcohol. If it were not for the electric ducted fan in front of the burner, it actually would be a ram jet. It's just that ram jets don't produce static thrust.
And yes, I have been doing many of the calculations.…"
