Last Update: August 7, 2016
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 70 to
90 drawings which is intended to describe the aircraft as it was flown.

Technical Drawings as Bitmaps, Viewable on the Web and Down
loadable
For web viewing and downloading of drawings (in raster format, .gif bitmaps) go to my Online Photot Albums at: https://get.google.com/albumarchive/107007000912819402562?source=pwaThese albums currently include the drawings for Goat4, Goat1, and Pig1, five albums per aircraft. Individual drawings can be downloaded directly from the Picassa Gallery. See below for downloadable files 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,
.dwf, or .tcw (Turbocad, recent versions), except when in .gif
which is raster (bitmap).

Drawings in CAD formats (.dxf or .dwf) 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). Turbocad will open the .dxf files.
If no editing is intended, the .dwf drawings can be clearly examined or printed using available freeware. Autodesk Design Review 2011 is a free CAD viewer that works well with .dwf files. It will print full scale to paper when a full size template or part view is desired.
