FanWing Ultralight Simulation Video

The x-plane FanWing simulation (see www.xplane.com) was originally completed in consultation with FanWing Ltd., by Oliver Ahad at Imperial College, London, as part of his final M.Eng dissertation, supervised by Professor JMR Graham and Dr. Varnavas Serghides. Ahad won an award in 2006 from the UK National Association of Aerospace Universities for his presentation. The FanWing Ultralight is flown here by its inventor and designer Pat Peebles.

making this type of aircraft into a UAV is what I aspire to do for a living, a truly unique and efficient design such as this will do very nicely in the UAV field

Is there any model that represents the true speed ?

20knots is not so useful
