Verhees D-Plane – Aircraft of the month

The D-plane is a unique all aluminum delta wing aircraft that first flew in the mid 2000’s as a single seater, they expanded the design to a 2 seater.

As an Aerospace engineer with a heavy background in aircraft structures the Delta wing is one of my favorite configurations due to the simple to achieve strength to weight, flight dynamics and they work at all kinds of Renolds numbers from this small D-Plane all the way up to the Vulcan.

2 previous delta wing aircraft of the month include:

Dyke Delta

Avro Vulcan
