Homebuilt DIY Flying Saucer (Bi-plane) Sport Model Control mechanism and drive train removed for safety. I do not want fools to build this and crash. (More) Control mechanism and drive train removed for safety. I do not want fools to build this and crash. It has not been tested!
I know what this looks like but it's not a UFO. It is not meant for space travel. It's my own concept sketch for a one person ultralight biplane. Like a normal biplane, it will have two wings, an upper wing and a lower wing. They just happen to be circular. As in a real airplane, lift is produced by directing air over the top surface of the wings using the Coanda Effect, only in this case, air flow is provided by two counter-rotating centrifugal fans. The design is extremely light owing to its cable and aluminum tubing framework. The fans do not support weight so they can be built very light using bicycle bearings. The pilot sits on a platform (not shown) above the lower fan. They see a panoramic view around them because the wings are partially transparent, made out of reflective plastic. You can see out but they can't see in. The craft is kept inflated by air pressure provided by the lower fan. Air escapes through a slot around the outside edge, where control is provided by a series of flaps hooked up to a joystick controller. Like a helicopter, it hovers but you can tilt the craft in the direction you want to go. I don't expect it to go very fast. To steer right and left, simply speed up one fan while slowing down the other one. Plans will be made available at a later date so stay tuned, however, I must hastily add that this is only a concept sketch. I do not know if it will fly. It has not been tested and I will not be responsible for damages! (Less)
