Title: feather design
Post by: ionicmuffin on January 24, 2013, 04:23:34 pm

i was considering feather designs and came up with this one. Not sure if it would be a good style, but i thought it would be cool, maybe even enhance performance? just a thought

What you have there is the Bi-delta (do a google search on bi-delta vanes) and yes they do work.  You design with the pointed back ends will lend to a lot of noise over a more parabolic (round) back end.

seems like they are a very efficient design so long as you get the shape right! sweet! apparently the vanes that they make have been used to set the world record of over a mile of flight  ::)

Nevereven heard of Bi Delta fletching.  Pretty neat.  Let us know how they work.
