Hey Koen- This is really great stuff! since you are in Belgium as are they, perhaps you can get some higher resolution improved photos from them. Just to pass...

Hallo Steve, man, if you really can start a Birdman Rally in your area, you will be close to a dream for many. Organising it will be hard. Because ... who...
Hey, hope you guys won't mind me posting something that's a bit off topic. could this fit in the definition of an airchair? just saw something on the History...
A shameless plug. Here is another tethered autogyro ( A miniature Airchair with rotating wings). I spent 50 years on it's developement. Much harder than it...
Does anyone know what the goat uses for an airfoil? I have been searching around for airfoils to use for our craft which will not be much different then the...
The the airfoil on the Goat is an original design. I think a Clark-Y or NACA 4415 would both be good choices. I can't find data on the Clark-Y but the graphs...
I just came from the Goat site. Mike said that the airfoil for the Goat was one of 'convenience'. It's probably a TLAR (That Looks About Right) airfoil. And I...

Seth S. has asked about the Goat airfoil, so I'll get on it: this is, as was noted, an airfoil of convenience, a TLAR (I liked the description "that looks...
Hey thanks for the reply. As far as low performance machines and excitement, well As a beginner I'd have to say that anything that leaves the ground in a...
Mike, you talk about the Fledgeling and Voyager as having a wing made of an aluminum ladder with tubular ribs! I have seen the Pou du Ciels that are made with...
David, I am afraid you took the word ladder too literally. Please follow the link below to the Airchair group FILES area and see the excellent detail photos...
well we tried doing some simple airfoil lift calculations based on some wind tunnel data I found for the Clark Y. This were mostly some simple calculations to...
Thought I saw somewhere that the BUG4 quits at about 23 mph and the Goat at "somewhat less". Such low airspeeds become inconsequential, sitting there out in...
Mike talks about estimated stall speeds for the Bug and Goat at His website. When you get this slow a few mph one way or another makes a big difference. You...
some old (1934, 1947) films of gliders, sailplanes, bungee launching primary gliders, sailplane competitions in Europe and u.s.a. etc. cool stuff. airchair...
