Tangara Dynamics aims to design fun 3D-printed small-scale RC planes, or 'parkflyers.' We are focused on creating fully functional aircraft with a maximum wingspan of 80 cm (31 inches) that can be printed and assembled in less than 24 hours.
The name “Tangara” is inspired by the graceful flight of birds from the tanager family. Tangara birds are renowned for their agile and dynamic flying style, effortlessly maneuvering through the air with finesse and precision. Tangara Dynamics embodies this agility, aiming to create RC planes that not only replicate but enhance the mesmerizing flight capabilities of these avian wonders.
Eduardo Ramírez - The stubborn designer
With 15 years of videogame design experience and zero experience with aircraft design, Eduardo aims to make this idea work out of the blue. To make this happen, he is taking several courses on aircraft design and production.

Having made balsa wood RC planes since he was a kid, Martin's role in this project is to constantly remind Eduardo about the principles of aerodynamics. Sometimes Eduardo takes the advice, sometimes he doesn't, making this the perfect team for the project to work out! Martin is currently learning 3D modeling.
