The project model is an embedded design delta wing r/c model. It is run by electric engine, instead of fuel. It has a monocoque structure, having templates of balsa wood and aluminum stiffeners and monocot as skin. It has different sized airfoil templates made up of balsa wood.
The main feature of the project model is it has highly lifting surface and minimal weight. This can allow to come forward with a full scale aircraft that can take much higher pay loads as compared to the existing aircrafts. In addition to this low drag and higher fuel carrying capacity can allows much higher endurance.
High body rigidity is another key factor in embedded wing aircraft, It reduces turbulence and creates less stress on the air frame which adds to efficiency allowing lighter air frame and thus proving it more economical. Furthermore higher cruising speed can be achieved for the full scale aircraft which was not possible here because of the power plant restrictions.

Its an R/C model 'blended' delta wing aircraft made by us. we got the success maiden flight test to our model. Its as equivalent as receiving an achievment for us after its maiden test flight. We had a same feelings what Wright Brothers would have in the past when they first made their model and made it fly. Our hard labour and the great enthusiasm that has been put up all were remarkable. There are a lot of advantages and innovativeness in our delta wing. Till now Delta wing aircraft is only meant for the fighter purposes(like B-2 bomber, F-series and joint strike fighters). But our delta wing prototype will be more efficient for commercial purposes at high subsonic speed. Also, due to its blended design, its each section is the high lifting surface, Hence it can carry more payload. We would like our enthusiasm to be carried forward for its future existence.
