I haven't been on so much because i finally got the job i have been looking for

I will be working for Adam Aircraft.

http://www.adamaircraft.com

So if anybody in the Denver area wants to watch some F1 i don't have cable yet

Congratulations, man, very cool. A job in the aviation sector is always fun.

Congratulations - An innovative company, making an innovative product that has meet with market success . May I wish you all the best.

its nice i live right by the airport and once in a while i wake up to one of our prototypes over head

congrats mate, cool looking plane, is it any easier to fly?

the prop plane is safer in an engine failure than a conventional twin because it wont want to yaw toward the lost engine.

The problem is there isn't a huge market for prop planes of this size so we are working on the jet

hope to wrap up certification in Jan and hit production shortly after

I believe its something like 80% composites very little metal in the plane but gobs of carbon

Is there some sort of shared platform between the A500 and A700 or is that just a general visual thing?

Hmm, didn't come to think of that, but now that you've "said" it, that's self-evident and a nice idea. Keep spreading the good word, it will catch on! But the aero considerations must be different when the props are "consecutive" as opposed to adjacent. Different blade profiles? Do the props rotate in the same direction or opposite directions?

Btw, do you have to "compensate" for the lighness of the construction? I mean I would guess that with a (and I'm assuming this) lower overall mass for a plane of its size, one would need to rethink wing chord, span and profile accordingly. And those properties would have to be considered against relatively greater differences in loads carried aboard.

yes they are a shared platform the first few jets Im not sure i can say how much is shared at this time


Checkered

the planes actually have two different wing profiles the inner one stalls first letting the pilot know hes about to lose all control if something is not changed soon as far as the actual aero considerations im not sure (its only my second week)

OK, no worries, I'm

just curious as such things generally are better thought out than what what is readily obvious - as your "control" stall example proves. Perhaps, once you've settled in, you can take us on a small virtual guided tour. I'm guessing since the company isn't a huge juggernaut like Boeing, the job description for any employee is actually quite diverse. Also, if you're unsure whether you can discuss something, then don't. I fully understand that certain things are to be kept under wraps - we're privileged enough to get your insight on what you can share with us.

its cool that you are interested

we are trying relay hard to meet a few upcoming dead lines i have yet to work less than 10 hours a day but it is a great place to work and we are hring a stress engineer and a cad designer if anyone is interested

Interesting. I was thinkin bout workin there. BUNCH of old SAE, and OptimumG guys there.

Dan Lichtenstein was on our team in 05. Crazy guy. Tony Krezel is there, was on CSU's team.

You should come up to Boulder. You can scope out our race "shop", hit up some bars do some drinkin.

Which CAD software?

solid edge :puke:

Jersy Tom i may take you up on that in a few weeks still trying to get moved in on the weekends
