All of these graphs show the different distances the AEV traveled when more or less external weight was applied to the AEV. Here it is apparent that weight does make a slight difference on the AEV but it is not a significant amount. The tests here had some variation in the results, especially for the AEV at the base weight, so more tests will be done to eliminate the error in the results.
TRIAL 1: 0 Ounces Applied to the AEV
Test 1:
Power vs. Distance
Power vs. Time
Test 2:
Power vs. Distance
Power vs. Time
Test 3:
Power vs. Distance
Power vs. Time
If one was to look at all of these different data collections on one graph, it would be apparent that the data was in variation. This means that each of the times that the AEV ran on the track, it did not go the same distance or stopped in a different amount of time. This variation led the team to want to do more tests with the AEV with no weight applied, however there was not enough time to do so.
TRIAL 2: 1 Ounce Applied to the AEV
Test 1:
Power vs. Time
Power vs. Distance
Test 2:
Power vs. Time
Power vs. Distance
Test 3:
Power vs. Time
Power vs. Distance
When testing the AEV with 1 ounce applied, it did take a little more time to start the propellers and the time ended up being a little longer than the original. However, this start time and end time was not completely significant.
TRIAL 3: 2 Ounces Applied to the AEV
Test 1:
Power vs. Time
Power vs. Distance
Test 2:
Power vs. Time
Power vs. Distance
Test 3:
Power vs. Time
Power vs. Distance
When testing the AEV with 2 ounces applied, it did take a little more time to start the propellers and the time ended up being a little longer than the original. However, this start time and end time was not completely significant but it was a little worse than the trials with 1 ounce applied.
