ONE M AN NE D AE R I A L CRAFT / POW E R E D HANG GL IDE R

I N T R O D U C T I O N

• It is a small light weight aircraft which consists of three wheel trike, the wing and a engine is mounted on rear side of the trike.

• The propellor is connected to the engine which gives some velocity to move the entire body.

• The wing is attached to the trike which is manually controlled by the pilot.

M AT E R I A L S U S E D

• Aluminium Alloy T6-6063

• Light weight Fabric similar to sail cloth

• Mild steel square hollow tubes for making trike

• Steel wire of dia. 4mm

• Nuts and Bolts

• Tools like drilling machine, hammer, spanners etc.

• Seat for trike

• 125cc Suzuki Engine, petrol tank.

• Battery, Spark Plug, wires, etc

• The first and most impotent principle on which this unusual aircraft works is the weight to surface area ratio.

• Bernoulli’s principle is always in play .

• This aircraft dose not fly only by the force produced by the engine it only needs enough speed to keep the velocity constant and then it just glides .

• Standard One Manned Aerial Craft or powered hang glider is very costly. The minimum cost one can buy is around Rs.25 lacks.

• The project we have made is cost effective, and one can build their aircraft within Rs. 50 thousand.

• The main advantage over flying a hang glider is one does not require license to fly the aircraft.
