  • In this video we look at Synergy Prime, the most efficient and advanced 5 seater. With just a 200 hp engine, it can travel at 200 mph and consume just 40 miles per gallon.

      Isn't that interesting? No shortage of "super efficient" and "revolutionary" ideas, no implementation. Gives the impression it's not as great an idea as the inventor thinks. These missing revolutionary designs have been optimized for only one metric, at the expense of other important things, like ability to manufacture easily.

    I was really disappointed when I found out that John McGinnis was forced off his own project by other investors. Think he posted this on his facebook page. Still hope the design comes to market.

  • @williambunting803
    @williambunting803 Před 5 měsíci +6

    I remember when John McGinnis was hopeful of competing in the flight efficiency challenge. We are still waiting.
    You missed a few features of his concept. As you said the upper flight surface receives down thrust from the airflow over the top of the wing. In this mode the upper wing is “surfing” in the airflow and recovering energy in the process. This is one of the primary drag reduction techniques. The second role of the upper foil is in landing where its lift becomes positive to effectively increase the wing area for landing ie it becomes the flaps.
    The other feature of the fuselage can only be appreciated if you look up the Goldschmeid Shape. The transition of the fuselage to a convex shape according to Goldschmeid induces a collapse of the air column und the right conditions and the collapse “squeezes” tail section of the fuselage (as per a banana) thereby recovering energy lost at the nose section high pressure point. I think McGinnis has made the nose a little too sharp as the function at this point is to apply energy to the air at the nose to push it out to reduce the form pressure of the forward fuselage to minimize the skin drag. This energy is mostly recovered in the tail section.
    John’s concept is indeed genius, but becoming ever less likely of becoming reality.

    I would be interested to learn about it's performance under turbulence. With the prop located behind such a large fuselage could sudden wind shear dramatically, or completely, take away incoming air to the prop? This disruption could theoretically remove power.

    Yes, This is a very efficient design. Did you know that the tail top wing actually is turned upside-down in order to provide a opposite lift effect in the rear of the aircraft, which keeps the front of the plane level aswell as increases the front wings airflow path, which in turn increases the main wings lift effect.

    It's a good step forward, however lift that is generated is negated by requiring downforce on the epinage. Any lift generated will also produce induced drag. If you eliminate the need for tail downforce you will reduce the lift needed as well as the induced drag associated with the extra lift burden. The very best solution would be a tailless swept wing design with a lift distribution that has the tip vortices INBOARD of the tips, as in the Prandtl-D approach. This will also deliver proverse yaw, as the elevons will be operating within the updraft of the vortex, generating thrust as well as lift. Birds have no vertical fins. Albatrosses have virtually no tail at all.
    There is no substitute for span if you want to fly efficiently at speeds half that of airlines.
    That said, this approach is nicely compact, inherently stable and far more practical for hangar space, and a good improvement on what is available.

    It combines the football shape that is ideal for laminar flow with a wing designed to minimize vortices at the wingtips, because there are no wingtips. This concept is all over CZcams from the original drone props to those new motorboat props. This also opens up the possible resurgence of the biplane, whose weakness stemmed from having a greater number of vortex causing wingtips. Biplanes have a great structural advantage, especially if you tie the wings together at the ends, as this design must. Having shorter wings is another structural advantage. Possible seaplane candidate?

I'm saddened to learn that John was forced out of the project, though this helps to explain why I stopped hearing about it. It must be very hard to lose your stake in a design that you invented and championed :(.
    John posted a series of articles about many of these subjects back on the old EAA forums in the 00's, but I'm not sure if they're still available. The wing design leverages many intersecting effects to achieve efficiency and this was well described in the video. I'll not attempt to add further detail as I might misremember them after so many years and don't want to provide misinformation.

    Synergy Prime with a Rutan tandem wing design, would probably make stall free aswell.

    I was following Synergy and John McGinnis for a long time, but like other innovations it seems to have fallen flat. I hope they can get new wind and make this happen at some point.

    Makes total sense to this old engineer and beginning pilot. I wants one. But golly, you need to get revenue. Failure to do so points to either bad management, or engineering gotchas, or both.

    I'd like to see that thing and do some slow flight unusual attitude recovery, spins of course how does it fly slow when it turn Will the inside wing stall. It's pretty obvious it's short coupled like a pits stability at slow flight does not look like something that will be solved anytime soon.

    Jet fuel caries more BTU then the same amount of Av Gas. Your biplane is cute but the added wing area adds drag and a short coupled pitching moment that will be a hand full . Canards are a better pick, A helicopter is best under 300 miles point to point

    I need one of these in a very major way but would prefer a 6 seat version to fly from CA to HI (non-stop of course) and carry more fuel for a solo flight. Is this airplane pressurized? These airplanes need to get FAA certified!! And beautiful beyond belief. What is the Cd, coefficient of drag?

    • @ElectricAviation
      @ElectricAviation  Před měsícem

      It is not pressurized. It makes sense to have a 6 seat version of it

  • @BrianGochnauer
    @BrianGochnauer Před 5 měsíci

    I would expect slow speed handling (takeoff/landing) will/are very 'twitchy' and possibly dangerous. Because of it's short distance between the wing and control (elevator) surfaces.
    Probably why it is delayed; they are trying to fix these issues of slow speed control and stall characteristics and the VERY tight weight and balance envelope because of the short coupling.

    In all these examples of smart, beautiful design, the creators think they can just go charging the customer astronomical prices. But they can't, and that's why they are history. The only revolutions that will ever take off are ones that an be affordable enough for the public to participate in. Anything else will never be more than a "niche" market, even if they don't collapse immediately.

    I am personally waiting for the battery-less electric planes (and cars and whatever, probably everything else) that will run off Tesla's design for taking electricity directly from the atmosphere that he used to drive his Pierce Arrow back in the 1931. He had it set up to put out 80 hp diesel/electric torque effect and took it up to 90 mph over a few hours driving-with witnesses.

    It is long hard road for someone to break into manufacturing civilian aircraft. History is littered with the bones of those that tied. Beech scraped all the composite planes they built with Burt Ruttan rather than deal with the uncertain long-term issues. Finding investors that can stay the course will be tough.

    tilt box wing flying vtol car, quad copter props for tail-sitter lift-off and landing, the tilt folding wings for storage land mode only. yes car and flight, and when the box wings are vertical, they tilt with two axles to the side of the car only. super simple. well shape the roof and car in the vertical direction in the way that it will not add too much drag, in the up flight direction. yes turn the box wings vertical, not horizontal. car travel is horizontal, air plane travel is vertical, the wings tilted locked away when in car mode. quad copter props/turbines produce all the thrust and direction control, possible flaps on the vertical box wings.

      I made a 3d render animation model of the tail-sitter vtol car plane concept on my channel if interested.
