Here are the technical drawings which
describe the airchairs I have designed, built, and flown.
They are released into the public
domain and are free to anyone for any purpose.
Each aircraft is described by a set of
about 69 to 96 drawings. The drawings are intended to describe the
aircraft as it was flown.

This will include a
supplementary folder of Design drawings that describe some aspects of the design process. Individual drawings for Goat 1can be downloaded directly from online as bitmaps (GIF format). See
below for downloadable zip folders which contain all the
drawings for a particular aircraft.

Technical Drawings in Download Files
These down loadable files
are in vector CAD (Computer Assisted Design) formats, .dxf, or
.tcw (Turbocad, recent versions), except when in .gif which is
raster (bitmap).

Drawings in AutoCAD format (.dxf) offer a much better view of small detail than the bitmaps (.gif) and should be preferred for any critical examination of the drawings. Also, a modern CAD program can use the .dxf files as a starting point (template) for making new or modified drawings, or as a source of components (the individual nuts and bolts can be taken out of the original drawings and used elsewhere). Regretably, many of the dxf formatted drawings have text and grouping faults which are a result of format conversion from their native tcw (Turbocad).
