Evolution of Design

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.
