ZachariasX Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 The Aussies broke me. I couldn‘t make that. 28 minutes ago, Boo said: Am I righ? Am I right? 🙂 100 points to the winner! It is built around Anton Flettners patent covering a spinning tube/rod acting like a wing profile and its application in a wind turbine. Today, we can actually calculate the efficiency of the idea, and it is a mixed bag at best, but not in a good way. There is an article on that design here, from which I quote some tidbits: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Uwe-Borchert-2/publication/324681135_Numerical_Investigation_of_a_Wind_Turbine_with_Flettner_Rotor_Rotating_on_and_Transversely_to_the_Main_Axis/links/5adbd8e5a6fdcc29358a346c/Numerical-Investigation-of-a-Wind-Turbine-with-Flettner-Rotor-Rotating-on-and-Transversely-to-the-Main-Axis.pdf?origin=publication_detail&_tp=eyJjb250ZXh0Ijp7ImZpcnN0UGFnZSI6InB1YmxpY2F0aW9uRG93bmxvYWQiLCJwYWdlIjoicHVibGljYXRpb25Eb3dubG9hZCIsInByZXZpb3VzUGFnZSI6Il9kaXJlY3QifX0 In that long link, we are explained the theory behind it: and that on ships, such rod „sails“ actually worked, somehow. What looks like Stable Diffusion gone wild is actually a design: As for this Plymouth „aircraft“, the idea was to let the wing tubes spin and when pulled forward, they behave like a traditional wing: IIRC, they even said that this contrapition managed to fly. If they said so, well, sure Jen. I guess there is a reason why we only have a drawing of it in flight. But it indeed produces lift: It does so at a higher rotational speed and slower airflow, making it essentially a slow aircraft. Also it would require optimized boundary layer conditions. And, most of all, if the drums stop spinning, the wing ceases being a wing at all and the crate drops like a brick. Thanks to Uwe Borchert for this further piece of useless knowledge. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachariasX Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 2 hours ago, HBPencil said: Vickers type 432? I‘d say that as well. The British made great performing aircraft, and some had even the looks for it. And once they had an example that excelled at both, any subsequent had to have the same look. Usually, they were unsatisfactory designs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct!! - Id have allowed the 21 or the 21R was theres no difference twix the two in the image portion shown I dint think. But in this case it was the DB605B powered 21.
