For my Design, I was thinking that the plane structure will reduce the weight of the AEV. Due to the special shape of the wings, lift will be created when the AEV travels on the track. And because of the lift, the AEV will become lighter so that it can travel faster.

My AEV design is a pretty simple one. My idea is to reduce the weight of the AEV, then the AEV will get less friction when it work. Then it can travel faster, and more people are willing to take our AEV.

My AEV design focuses mainly on stability and a smooth design to slice through the air with little drag. The design has a carved rectangular cylinder for the arduino board as well as the battery. The shape of the AEV acts as a giant wing itself and should create a large amount of lift. The propellers are located on the right and left side on the rear end and another one could be added on the front of the AEV. However, this design does not account for the condition when the AEV reverses. So a design that is symmetrical on both the front and back would be ideal. The material for the AEV will be mostly plastic.

The inspiration for my design came from a google search: “fastest prop plane”. XF-84H Thunderscreech was the top result. I noticed this plane had a propellor at the front center, a narrow body, main wings were sharply angled toward the back of the plane, and a second set of smaller wings elevated from the back of the plane. My AEV design matched this concept; the main body had the shape of wings angled sharply back, the arduino and battery pack formed a narrow center, and a second wing was elevated in the back of the AEV.
