Group C’s approach to the Mission Concept Review is to develop the most efficient and reliable AEV possible while minimizing the costs of production. This means applying the Engineering Design Process through entrepreneurial minded learning.
In terms of efficiency we expected to utilize propulsion methods that made our AEV fast while consuming very little energy. We also wanted to use light materials with as simplistic of a structural design as possible to keep the weight down and enhance performance.
However, a company’s product must be dependable and as such we cannot sacrifice reliability for efficiency. Thus, we have prioritized ensuring that the AEV accurately executes the desired tasks while operating safely.
Our final point of emphasis is to keep production costs as low as possible which means thorough consideration of materials, customization of parts, energy consumption, and use of time. The highest standard of quality will be upheld while company expenditures are minimized so that all safety protocols and performance requirements are met.
