IFO , no tip stall

[NX-687]

My depron IFO lookalike just does fantastic slow high alpha tight turns whersas my plane with similar loading is just unpredictable , is it because it doesnt have a tip,,,, that it does not tip stall :confused:
have a symetrical fuse on it too I guess that helps and no U/C , I catch it , U/C's are for the birds

At the risk of appearing dumb... whats an IFO :confused:

Well,,,,,, roundish short wingspan flying wing with elevons on the back
Sort of like a flying circle

Low aspect ratio wings usually have higher critical angles of attack.

Low aspect ratio wings usually have higher critical angles of attack.
Seems to test that way , not a hint of wing wobble , in high alpha at any angle or speed :)

Wings of such low aspect ratio actually ride the tip vortex. They cannot technically stall like a high aspect ratio wing.
Since flow never is truly attached anyway it can not separate. ;)

If it flew Knife edge, which it doesnt it would be perfect , oh no undercart , thats a bit of a minus , or a plus depends on how you look at it
The knife edge problem ,,is not enough fuse area , and not in the right proportion , not too worried , the inverted high alpha is right down low stuff , controlability wise , inspires confidence
Im actually building a slightly larger one to lower my loading
Im a light on the wing junkie , consumed by low loading and its obvious benifits ,,,,,,and with this no tip , no tip stall thing ,looks like happy days are here again :p
