Drumming etc.

[shermarama]

Drumming always cheers me up and makes me properly awake. I pay for it in the morning, especially tomorrow morning when I ought to be in work before 9 if possible, but for now I am a chuffing genius.

I can model the ellipse a chunk at a time, and get lift for each bit and sum them. That won't give me an accurate answer but if I compare it to wind tunnel tests for the same shape, I've then got a range of figures that it'll be reasonable to make estimates against. Ha ha.

And, and, I don't have to get registered *and* get a load of articles from the BL on Friday, because I also don't have to work Monday and can come back through then and get some more. And maybe even actually meet Andy Ford.

This whole airship malarkey might fly yet.

My third year project, and this bloke that came in and gave us a lecture and wanted someone to take it up as a project. I seem to have been the only person in my year daft enough to try it.

These things do already exist, though there's not many and they don't work terribly well. My aim is to build a better one. But some spoony videos anyway, see http://www.endlessflyers.com and see if your French still works.
