NOTE: This is NOT the AEV Design used for Final Performance Testing
Prototype used for AEV peformance testing
The figure shows prototype that will be evolved into final design E shown below.
This is our final AEV Design prototype drawing. This prototype includes elements from all of our previous prototypes to create the best AEV design.
Note: The cover was never installed due to too much added weight and cost
Note: The hook was taken off after Performance Test 1 due to conflict with railing.
Design E–
Pros –
- Arduino safe under cover
- Battery safe under cover
- Hook used as “failsafe”
- V-Wing design used for aerodynamics and efficiency
Cons –
- Extra material is added weight, might lose some efficiency
