Shape: The overall similarity of each general shape in comparison to the sample AEV.
Wings: The overall similarity of the wing shape in comparison to the sample AEV.
Battery Placement: How similar the battery placement is between our designs and the sample AEV.
Propeller Placement: How similar the propellers/motors are in reference to their placement and shape.
Pros and Cons of Each Design:
- Emily
- Pros: Streamline minimizes air resistance to make it more efficient.
- Cons: Potentially too bulky.
- Bradley
- Pros: More stable design.
- Cons: May not have enough parts to build.
- Nick
- Pros: Lightweight and streamline that also minimizes air resistance.
- Cons: Potentially unstable.
- Sarabeth
- Pros: Streamline once again.
- Cons: May not have enough parts to build.
The two AEV designs were are taking into the design process are the designs made by Nick and Bradley. These two designs passed both the concept screening and scoring matrices, therefore they share similar designs to the sample AEV. Both designs will run smoothly and more efficiently than Emily and Sarabeth’s.
