Good day, I am currently developing a thermal expansion analysis of a pipe line, I need to validate if the current installed Gimbal joints will withstand those conditions. These gimbal joints just allow angular movement. Is there any software or method that can help me as reference for this...

Good day, I am starting to design a new cargo RC plane and I end with this trouble. I want to select a motor but I do not know the required trust. Is there any equation or steps that I can apply to decide the motor?? Thanks!

Good day everyone, I was designning the wing for a school project and I wonder if there is any equation for defining the aileron size. I am designing a straight rectangular wing. I just found on other forums that the aileron's length should be 0.25 of the wingspan and the aileron chord should be...

No, I am planning to select the adequate wing planform for a project. We are designning a small cargo plane. But I just know that the elliptical wing has the best lift distribution, the tapered wing reduce the induced drag, and the rectangular is more economically and easier to manufacturate.

I wonder what are the advantages and disvantages of the rectangular, tapered and elliptical wing planforms.

Hi, I wonder where is the best location for a wing spar thorugh its cord. Up to where I know it is on the Aerodynamic center (approximately 1/4 of the chord from the leading edge) because is the point on the chord where the lift acts. I am using a 17in chord S1223 airfoil.

Ok, so if my total lift force is 30lbs, and half of the wingspan is 51" (because I am analyzing half of the wing as cantilivier), the distributed lift will be (15lb/51"), right?

This analysis is to get the safety factor of the spar and the displacement on the tips when the plane is flying. Is a rectangular wing, and the spar will be located on the aerodynamic center (approximately 1/4 of the chord from the leading edge), up to where I know this is where the lift acts.

I am trying to figure out which is the most accurate way to perform the static analysis of a wing spar. Some partners told me to analyze it in cantiliver and the half of the lift force on the tip, but I do not think this is the proper way because the lift does not act on the tips. I was thinking...
