As for the wings and canards slots we designed a concept to close themafter they open, because of aerodynamic considerations. The solution issome kind of a "curtain" as following:This is a draw of a section from the middle of ourplane. The plane itself is painted in black. Thesmashed line indicates the space to the wing/canard.In red is the "curtain" itself, made of plastic, with a2 mm thick and in blue is a aluminum 2024 strip thatconnect the curtain to the plane body.INTERNAL LAYOUT OF THE COMPONENTSIn this draw it can be the main components of the plane; the avionicsand the EO/IR sensor in the front, the motor and the booster in the backand the integral warhead and fuel tank in middle.The components positions decide in iterative way, according to theweight table described next (Wishing the fuel tank to be positioned inthe center of gravity area).30
