Key areas

Weight-To us this is the most important aspect of the project since it affects all other key areas of the AEV. The weight also takes into account the efficiency of the design. If a design is more efficient then it uses every component to its maximum potential thus boosting both the energy efficiency and the speed of the AEV. Also utilizing the components efficiently will decrease the overall cost of the AEV.

Energy efficiency- We see this as a very important aspect of our design. Since AEV stands for automatic energy vehicle we figure that using its energy as efficiently as possible is crucial to the success of the design. Utilizing our weight as well as when thrust is needed will be the key to energy efficiency.

Speed-This may be the most important area to the consumer, but even though this is very important we see this as our least important key area and merely a product of energy efficiency and the weight.
