Evolution of Design

Initial Design Sketches:

Positive Aspects: Dome in front reduces drag and the inclined plane in the front also reduces drag to save energy.

Points of Revision: This design is bulky and has a lot of weight to it, weight reduction is needed.

Positives: Made to be hollow and light so to reduce weight and energy waste.

Revisions: Big and could be made to be more aerodynamic.

Positives: Curved bottom should help decrease drag and increase the aerodynamic properties of the AEV.

Revisions: Design could still weigh too much.
