Potential Designs for the ANGEL


Here I am beginning to upload images of what I believe the ANGEL craft will look like. All of this is concept artwork, and is in the process of being updated. The hardware on ANGEL is the same, but the configuration will vary, resulting is somewhat different craft every time.


The design above is somewhat like the NASA philosophy, with rounded surfaces. The control pod in the center is where the High Voltage generator, GDP power supply, fuel cells and radio equipment will be located. The weight of the central pod will balance the heaviness of the wings, creating a (more) stable craft.

Most importantly, the wings on board this ANGEL will be variable geometry, as my testing has indicated this is more favourable when transitioning to higher velocities. For an example of the degree of sweepback, please see the animation below (Not here as of 15/5/00 - will be implanted ASAP!).



Another possible interpretation of the ANGEL design I have come up with is the widened version of the craft which is below.
