I have been designing my dream plane for over 26 years and 10 years with XFLR5 program testing the foils.
As there is the area rule and then there is "poor man's area ruling"...cannot remember the correct name for it, but anyway...you get the point. Would it be possible to get some "laminar flow" into PART 103 plane made in my work space ?
I have been working on a foil design for long now...I did have have one with stupendous L/D but it seemed to made also stupendous Cm...and possibly more drag than I needed (albeit insane amount of lift too).
So are we there yet or has Harry Riblett solved this already ?
EDIT: "Inverse pressure gradient matching" makes sense at our modest airspeeds, true "area rule" applies as planes approach the transonic range.
I found the term.....INVERSE GRADIENT PRESSURE MATCHING !
