Ray is making progress with the rigs for the Octave prototype. The design uses a simple method for cantilevering the cranes from the upper mast tubes. After drilling, fitting, and bonding, carbon tow is used to prevent splitting. The mastheads are filled with low density filler mainly to keep water out. This system eliminates all fittings...Read More
A view of design detailing for an open wheeler tub. The client was kind enough to allow us to share this view of the main carbon safety cell prior to fine detailing. Very interesting to apply our knowledge and tools to different worlds. While we are on cars… Here is a view of a prototype...Read More
A prototype airframe ready for flight testing. We rarely get to post about this UAV project due to confidentiality concerns. But this particular model is now out in the open, so here goes… By way of background, it was commissioned by a local defence contractor working with Sinagapore Aerospace, BAE Systems, and Sydney University. We...Read More
CAD drafting and optimisation work. These images of a shortlisted (but not final) design have been cleared for release. Most aspects of the project remain classified.Read More
Some images from a study commissioned by a Sydney owner for a harbour racer/day boat. The concept is for a very clean, simple boat, easily handled by a small crew. Cockpit size is prioritised over internal volume and accommodation. A deep fixed keel can be retracted to reduce draught. The hull form is of moderate...Read More
The prototype boat has as an RC tray a simple horizontal shelf spanning the hull and capturing the fin trunk. The mainsheet enters the boat through a fairlead immediately below the boom at the sheeting point. A simple sheeting circuit goes to a block anchored inside the hull at the transom. The turning block is...Read More
