A friend in my electric only club has been working on a 3D printed EDF flying wing.
His 13th version of it is screaming and it is the first one to make its 3rd flight.
I don't know the details of his EDF unit but the wing is about 40" span and about 24" long.
He recently hit 169mph with it. This was checked by a GPS unit in the plane. It had been tested as accurate.
Some of the early ones did not last to long. One did a big right roll into the back of a pickup truck. 3D printed planes don't crash well, there is nothing left to repair.
