This page contains the numerous designs in an attempt to optimize the design to best fit the needs of the mission.
Current Design (updated 3/22/2018): The current design being worked with on the project.
- Aerodynamic
- Lightweight
- Safe
- Slim (can fit through tighter spaces)
- Optimized propeller configuration for maximum efficiency
Previous Designs: A variety of designs from the very first prototype to final prototypes are below as well as justifications for revisions.
SOLIDWORKS Designed AEV – Derived from Max Doucette’s hand-drawn design.
Max Doucette Initial Concept Design (1/28/18) – Used due to slim and aerodynamic features
Alex Short Initial Concept Design (1/28/18) – Not used due to complexity of design.
Justin Beachy Initial Concept Design (1/28/18) – Not used due to lack of stability.
Brian Glowacki Initial Concept Design (1/28/18) – Not used due to lack of aerodynamic features
Initial Example Given by FE Instructional Team (1/25/18) – Was revamped to increase aerodynamics and balance.
