Sketches of AEV

David’s Sketch

  • First rough draft
  • lacked detail but gave direction for future designs

Michael M’s sketch

  • Another rough draft but reinforced the idea that the AEV will have a T-shaped frame
  • Offered technological logistics for the future AEV.
  • Makes use of extra machined parts to streamline design.

 

Michael Tefend Sketch

  • Vertical hang design is a fresh way of looking at the design.
  • May not be perfectly balanced.

 

Jacob Li Sketch

  • Also considered a vertical hang design.
  • Propellers at front and back could stabilize the AEV better while “in flight.”

Team Concept Sketch

  • Another new way to look at the problem was to go with a wide base.
  • Considered the long arm to balance the AEV across its length.
  • Wide motors may propel the AEV better along the track.
