ABSTRACT OF "THE SNITCH":
"The project includes design and fabrication of an R/C (Remote
Controlled) plane and was mainly taken to build an aircraft model which
has optimized performance characteristics in different phases of flights
and mission requirements. It promises good overall performance combined
with Short Take Off and Landing, reasonably high cruise speeds with
great ease of maneuverability. The power-off stall speed to is very low,
which is another key feature of this. The captivating feature of this
plane is that it is circular in shape which is the result of the
combination of two different forms of airplanes, Delta Winged aircrafts
and a Forward Swept planes."
