Another off-the-wall, offbeat design inspired by the Deltoid and joined-wing planes in general. Why “Aether”? Well, its structure is very minimalist and most of it is empty space.
It’s a swept-wing design with a joined “stab” section that also provides support for the high aspect ratio wings.
I also decided to try experimenting with having the canard elevator flaps on its leading edge rather than its trailing edge.
Projected glider length = 27”, 31” when motor pod is included. It’s strictly a sport model intended for small-field flying, which is why it’s more mid- to largish in size (which also conveniently makes it easier to find in the multi-acre farm fields our NC clubs use).
