The DarkAero 1 Aircraft Split Rudder
Join the DarkAero Community - https://www.youtube.com/darkaeroinc/join (Exclusive members only content including photos, videos, live Q&A and more!) In this video we talk through the design and function of the split rudder on the carbon fiber DarkAero 1 aircraft. The split rudder acts very similar to other airplane rudder controls. We also go over the variables we weighed out when deciding to implement a split rudder speed brake on the DarkAero 1 rather than a conventional rudder and dedicated speed brake. If you enjoyed this video and would like to see more of this type of content, follow along as we continue along on our progress towards creating the fastest, longest range aircraft you can build in your garage.
