|
Initial Question interlude | | |
Comp frame project explanation and check-in | Conall Kingshott | Show CAD Weight check in and manufacturing technique explanation Work on Cabin, mounts, and shields in next ~2 terms
|
Antenna tracker explanation and check-in | Arjun Mandair | Fixes that need to be implemented Lessen overall weight and material consumption Lessen amount of set screws utilized on shaft 90 degree sheet metal bend instead of machined block Supports on servo mount Sensor mounting Waterproofing
Questions Continuous rotation servo? Servo on plate instead of bottom? Servo Wire tangling? Wiring antenna tracker to ground?
Will Update Asana after confirmations! |
Houston explanation and check-in | Conall Kingshott | What is Houston Landing gear stuff Upcoming weatherproofing
|
FEA/SIM explanation | Smile Khatri | Basics on what sims/FEA is Software we can use: SolidWorks simulations, Ansys Fluent & Ansys for FEA and CFD Simulation workshops starting late September Workshop 1 will go in-depth about CFD, fundamentals of aircraft aerodynamics which will help us make our drone more aerodynamic opportunity to learn Ansys Fluent (popular software for running CFD sims) Workshop 2 will be focused on FEA, static and dynamic sims. I.e. we can use FEA to determine whether our landing gear can withstand the impact from the drone landing
There’ll be opportunities for running sims throughout the term for different drone components
