No Emission, Low Drag Airframe (NELDA)
Description: The goal of NELDA is to design an airframe for a future zero emission, low drag airplane, then validate the design with wind tunnel data and stability analysis for our customer Richard Schaden. The design will be scalable and based around future technology which can be implemented within the next seven years. The hope is to find a solution which helps combat current travel environmental concerns while simultaneously advancing the general aviation industry.
