Thanks Jeffrey. As a licensed user with multiple seats I have run every version of SolidWorks since 1996, and without being too specific, (1) froze the software date with the first Synergy release...

Cory, 100% of Synergy was designed in SolidWorks. Tens of thousands of part files were required to do the job, not because of complexity/part count, but because of the way complexity grows...
Arthur,
You don't need a special airfoil beyond the ones you may have seen, but I'd like to encourage you to wade right in and go for it anyway. Someone designing original aircraft needs to have...
Precisely.
For years, Google founder Larry Page has wanted to advance the commute-by-aircraft concept to practicality. In his vision of this personal project, Page and like-minded people could take off from...
Mighty thankful to you, Jim, as well as to the more than 799 supporters who pitched in. Unfortunately, getting to OSH 12 became a physical impossibility when we ran out of money in January and...
Well, it looks like they got better over time. All the lesser articles were children of the very first one to go online, and enough decent ones followed to mellow me out some.
Advice to all...
Thanks Robert. I agree for the most part. This will get done with or without its detractors, and I'm not going to change the tune now. Enjoy your morning coffee.
In conjunction with our Kickstarter campaign we OK'd the release of a pretty innocent and straightforward press release about how Kickstarter changed their mind.
The first WILDLY INACCURATE...

Some leave it as proof of the result but if you want to remove it, it's easier prior to cure. Take a photo before and after if it's about evidence in your build log.
Absolutely correct, sir.
Hi Robert, and welcome.
Our engine is mounted up but not running. This is a part of the project I want to share with more qualified people as it will free up more of my time to handle the...
Their entire first response: "Thank you for taking the time to submit your project. Unfortunately, this isn't the right fit for Kickstarter. We receive many projects daily and review them all with...

Hi Richard.
The engine is tiny and light! It is designed to tolerate the fine-carbon soot of a diesel, which makes its brand new oil as black as coal. There are a number of things about it that...

Now that's a nice public service. Make sure the trophy looks like a biohazard sign and plant it at their booth!
Wow, nice to know where you stand with Moller, I guess. Admiring people who...
Excellent characterization of a con artist who has harmed our entire industry. Thank you Dan for your comments and for posting here.
Guys, Angle of Attack indicators are "stupid simple" devices that can be made cheaply, using several different principles. There are lots of them available commercially as well. My point is the same...
I'll gladly add my voice to the (growing) call for Angle of Attack awareness! Unlike airspeed indicators, AoA indicators do not require pilots to calculate or remember how much faster they need to be...
Hard to say right now since time is the money we don't have, but assembly is the easy part. We're actually avoiding some of that as long as we can to preserve the ability to put (smaller, workable,...
Thanks John. I'll enjoy that paper, I'm sure! I'd LOVE to see your project, as well!
Just a place to ask and answer questions related to the Synergy aircraft design or build.
