Flying-V - Scale model maiden flight

This summer, a team of researchers, engineers and a drone pilot of TU Delft traveled to an airbase in Germany for the first real test flight of the scaled flight model of the energy-efficient aircraft design called the Flying-V. The project was announced last year together with KLM. After a period of extensive wind tunnel testing and a series of ground tests in the Netherlands, it was time to perform the first flight and obtain an impression of the flight characteristics. The aircraft had a very successful maiden flight: https://www.tudelft.nl/en/ae/flying-v/ A list of the most frequent technical questions and our answers: https://www.tudelft.nl/en/ae/sustaina...
