Light Weight Ultralight Design Decisions, AR, t/c, lambda, Ltail: #1

The decisions that you make for your wing, horizontal tail, vertical tail, an fuselage configurations can make or break an ultralight airplane design when it comes to meeting the 254 lbs empty weight limit imposed by Federal Aviation Regulation 103.1(3). In this video we look at specific parameters of our design to make sure that we meet the weight requirements.
