The Arrow - A Sneak Peek at our new wing project.

[DonnieQ]

Hey Wayne...status update,...or is there another thread/

 

[Wayne]

It is currently being shipped to Aloft for first flight tests. It was planned to fly in Austria first, but that was going to take too long. Should be here soon.

Hey @Wayne any update on this project? Will they be ready before sunset so we can have some there?

 

[Wayne]

Sadly - The prototype is still sitting at Mario's place in Austria waiting for one of the flying wing gods to take it into the air. Seems they are all tied up. It may end up maidening at Sunset. Really wanted the feedback from one of the gurus in that specialty.

Hey Wayne,...Interesting how developing a design takes so much time ! How did Rutan, and now Ramy do it so fast? money?

Checking in ...DonnieQ

 

[Wayne]

LOL - there is a difference from prototype and production. We can kick out a prototype pretty darn quick. But production is another animal. Very few of Rutans designs made it into production, and those that did suffered along the way. Prototypes are not highly polished and refined designs.

In regard to this project - Our Prototype has become stuck in Austria and I have not had any luck in getting it to move.
