다운로드 "Designing a 3D Printed, RC Version of World War 2's Most Iconic Airplane: The B-17G Flying Fortress"

Most of my formative years as a kid were spent in the 1990’s, when the movie Memphis Belle was released. Being an airplane nerd, it instantly became my favorite film and still is to this day. It’s not really a critically acclaimed movie, but if you have any interest at all in aviation or World War 2 history, you must see it. It’s just a really great story about one of the first B-17 crews to complete 25 missions, a full tour of duty, which allowed the crew to go home. I’m 37 now. Since I started in the RC airplane hobby at the age of 12 I’ve dreamed of having a model of the B-17 Flying Fortress. So, with my SOLIDWORKS tools and 3D printers sitting idle in anticipation, I decided to build one. From the start of this project, I was committed to making the B-17 look as scale as possible. Little did I know that decision would add around 100 hours of CAD work to the project just designing the scale details like the tire hubs, dummy radial engines, and a ton of simulated panel lines. I couldn’t be happier with the resulting look of my B-17. But good looks were only half of the goal with this project. If it didn’t fly, and fly well, I was afraid I’d walk away from this project unfulfilled. Check out the video to see the results. Here are the specs of the final design: Scale: 1/15th Flying Weight: 5500g (194 ounces) Wing Span: 83” (2.1M) Wing area: 919.13 sq. in. Wing loading: 30.39 oz/sq. ft. Wing Cube Loading: 12 Motors: 4x Flightline 3530-860kV ESCs: 4x 30Amp Batteries: 2x 4S 5000mah Servos: 7x Hitec HS-85MG The B-17G Flying Fortress files are available for free here: https://www.3daeroventures.com/designs All of 3DAeroventure’s 3D printable aircraft designs are now free!
