Tecnam P2006T

Here is a design paper about Tecnam P2006T. I find it quite interesting.

Interesting detail with the used Rotax 912S is that it provides actually better thrust at takeoff and climb than same horse power with a Lycoming engine (because the engine nacelle has smaller frontal area and the propeller rotation speed is lower).

Misc tech paper etc. link collection

I created a wiki page to katix gforge for link collection.

I hope you like it. It is not sorted in any sense, but it contains lots of interesting links. A friend of mine has been sending these to me a quite long time and I thought that I could share the collection with you.

Nice collection of tech papers (3LS and more)

Here is a yet another collection of tech papers, however, in this time in a quite hand-picked manner - those most interesting ones (Voyager liquid cooled engines, Rotary engines, three lifting surfaces papers etc.):

Go to get them, good stuff.

Tecnam P2006T

Here is a design paper about Tecnam P2006T. I find it quite interesting.
www.aidaa.it/3-2008/P2006_corr.pdf

Interesting detail with the used Rotax 912S is that it provides actually better thrust at takeoff and climb than same horse power with a Lycoming engine (because the engine nacelle has smaller frontal area and the propeller rotation speed is lower).

A Lancair builder has collected a list of links to tech papers, e.g. NLF215F

Interesting technical papers

There is link to the NLF215F airfoil tech paper. It was particularly interesting. Now I understood the philosophy of the profile - I was always wondering, why this profile has the low drag bucket at so high Cl (around 0.5) rather than what is realized in cruise with small aircraft (up to 0.2). But, it seems, that this airfoil is designed to be used with -10 degrees flaps. With those, the low drag bucket gets into the cruise area. Heureka.

Here is a direct link to the paper:

Airfoil documents

There is an interesting document on Selig's page:
http://www.ae.uiuc.edu/m-selig/uiuc_lsat/vol4/NREL-SR-500-34515.pdf.

It covers for example wind tunnel results for Wortmann FX63-137 at low Reynolds numbers.
