Nice work Sabrina. I wouldn't have thought that the 180 sq inches of
exposed tubing would have slowed down the aircraft so severely! Isn't that
only about 5% increase in the exposed area? I'm not wanting to take the
time to calculate the wetted area (and increased drag) but the speed
reduction seems high to me. Oh well, guess that's why I became a structural
rather than aeronautical engineer.
Are you using any strain gauges to capture any movement of the wing or other
structures?
Once more though your photo shows real professionalism in your design. And
congratulations on the IATA Industry Achievement Award and a CABAA
scholarship to MIT.
