Dear Friends,
                 I with help of one of my friend, and some research build this.

This is aerofoil, winger, or what?

Please Suggest.

And of-course this can fly.

Try to post video tomorrow. here are some pics for you.

Even i have made a glider like this. I dont know whether to call it airfoil, but its sufficient to resist wind, if in motion.

I read it in some book. The brown stick is a broom stick, and the rings are made pf paper, joined with cellotape.
the glider glides like in picture "c", the smaller ring in front, and stick downward.
I can take off and fly well. Its landing which sucks :banghead::banghead:

There is some thing called Circulation Theory of lift and Ideal Body of Revolution, this contraption is normally used to illustrate that concept in an Aerodynamics class, yeah, flies well , theoretically has no Lift Induced Drag.

A Good pilot will practice until he gets it right,
A Great pilot will practice until he can't get it wrong.

This is too much gyaan for my little 'student' ! He would not have started reading proper Algebra / Physics at School Yet!!

nice eg. here,

rcpilotacro

problem is too much of directional stability, and very reluctant to turn apart from other design issues

i am planning to make to this type of plane, can anyone give me some ideas on this type of plane

dear yashb,
               you can make a prototype by adding a thrust source to the leading ring(to the glider shown). and the battery and Rx on the trailing. This is how i wanted to build one.
A single ring, like seen in the live example would not be under control without gyros i think.
