One of our main design features relies on having a central duct which, when mounted with a front EDF, will allow lowering front envelope pressure, strengthen internal stability in a center of weight serving as airships keel and it will finally replace all rudders and elevators needed with a thrust vectoring.
Following goals to be achieved:
- Develop a system which can provide continuous CF tube manufacturing and can be scaled up as needed – done
- Provide 2m long tube having 60mm inner diameter and test it on strength, weight and conductivity – done
- Provide 6m long tube having 60mm inner diameter, weighing under 800g – done
- Manufacture 2 x 6m main duct tubes – done
- Prepare a manufacturing process for 30mm tubes and test it on strength, weight and conductivity – done
- Prepare 20m of 30mm tubes – in progress
