When deciding on what our AEV design, aerodynamics is a key factor our group looks into. To ensure we are selecting the best design for our AEV, we needed to learn more about aerodynamics. In the link below contains an article from NASA about aerodynamics

When deciding on how to be more efficient with energy consumption, Group C needed to find what to cut out, and it was decided to use a servo motor instead of reversing the motor. The reference below goes in depth on why the brake is better for the AEV compared to reverse thrust.
