Skyaak, My Flying Toy Invention

Skyaak is my favorite 'pet project'. It is a unique 'Ring-Wing' flying apparatus that I have created and manufactured on a small scale. This is a huge challenge...you cannot bluff a 'flying device'. Either it works, or it's a DUD! There is a lot of work and development yet to be done with this...that's what keeps me fascinated.

ColoRing#3.jpg

...so I thought, why not add color to the translucent wings? After all, Skyaak spins on its axis in flight so the ColoRings will be literally 'animated'.

Side view of Mykro-Skyaak.jpg

Mykro-Skyaak ring-wings create positive incidence. The trajectory is crisp and accurate. Note the "finger-flicker tab'" on the bottom. This feature allows advanced atlatl throwing technique for more power with less exertion.

Thank you Michael for your kind comments. Really appreciate it.
Unfortunately now a days due to work & travelling I am unable to visit esnips as often as I used to. Yes, I am missing out on a lot of work displayed by the talented artists on esnips!

As for your query, no, I do not have an engineering background( it would have been nice to have that added degree though! I have C.A qualification) but what caught by eye about the Skyaak design was the fact that you managed to put through what you had visualized. The details you have given makes it much easier for one to understand what when into designing this project. I have been trying to download the video but have been having some problems with that. Shall try again and see. I think it has to do with the server on this end.

Wish you all success with the Skyaak-invention.

Regards,
Venu

A big "Thank-You!" to everyone who is popping in to visit.

Intrigued? You can read much more, and view the
Skyaak demo video at www.skyaak.blogspot.com

I would be very interested in any comments you might have.
Are you working on a 'Pet Project' of your own?
Tell us about it.

What stage are you at? Are you past the idea stage?
Have you started to incubate your idea into something
more concrete?
