After the success of the 90mm EDF Xenon, I wanted to make a vectored version so that I could hover it. I already had an 8S 90mm EDF setup lying around, so I made a tall version that is interchangeable with the normal version. I used a ball link as the base design for the vector unit. I also wanted to make it as simple as possible to make the building experience easier and cleaner.
A fun, lightweight 64mm EDF sport jet designed for precision aerobatics, completely 3D printed from LW-PLA.
The 64mm EDF Xenon is the smaller version of the original. I wanted to create a lighter and simpler model, so I scaled it down to this size. It only uses three servos, one EDF, and one ESC, while still keeping the amazing flight characteristics of the larger one. It is also designed for hand-launching on a 6S setup or for dolly takeoff on a 4S setup. Additionally, it was specifically designed to fit a 250×250×250 mm print volume.
Minimum Printer size 250X250X250mm
Wingspan: 950 mm
Length: 1150 mm
Flying Weight: ~800g
Power Setup: 64 mm EDF, 60A ESC, 1700-2300 mAh 4S-6S LiPo
The goal of this project was to design and build a fully 3D-printed turbine-powered jet. At the start of the project, I already had an SW80 turbine, which served as the basis for the aircraft design.
I chose to model the aircraft after the F-8, primarily because of its wing-hinge mechanism. This design presented an interesting engineering challenge: integrating the mechanism with the constraints of housing a hot turbine inside a fully 3D-printed airframe.
Length: 2300mm
