TNG Technology Consulting GmbH · Talk · 56 min · 2017 · YouTube title: BTD10: The 835kph Sailplane and Dynamic Soaring
Why it's here
Recommended as a detailed, wonderful explanation of the physics of dynamic soaring and record-speed RC gliders.
What it covers
Spencer Lisenby explains dynamic soaring, a technique that lets unpowered radio-controlled gliders reach speeds above 835 kph. He covers the physics and the design, build and flying challenges.
