Intro | Conall Kingshott | |
Flight tess | Conall Kingshott | We attempted a hover test this weekend. We flipped the drone, but the problem has been diagnosed. Not damage on the mechanical front. More info can be found here:
2023-10-14: Pegasus Hover, ZP3.5 M1, & Pilot Trainning There will be a flight test this weekend, trying hover again. More info is here:

Frame | Conall Kingshott | No major updates |
Antenna Tracker | Arjun Mandair | This is going on a bit of a break for the moment because Arjun is busy and we don’t have other people to support it atm. If anyone has a concern with that, please contact me directly. |
Cabin
| Alison Thompson
| Cabin design still underway! Update from AEAC sync, no opposition to cargo bay in the back Evan Janakievski want to talk through skeleton updates? Skeleton My thoughts: My orginal thoughts for seat layout to avoid a middle asile was something like this to allow for a big window in the front, though totally open to nixing that idea in favour of your seat layout (no big window will make assembly easier but may hurt aestheics?) thoughts?  Image RemovedI’d suggest that where ever we decide to have the cargo/cabin divide we add another 2 vertical CF tubes to give use something to mount hinge and a divider? Evan Janakievski has been working hard on the Skeleton ! Georgia Vachon Westerlund Updates to CAD and some CFD simulation results: https://uwarg-docs.atlassian.net/l/cp/qrpZo69M Following the feedback from last week’s meeting, I made the front/rear panels 2 mm thick and the side panels 4 mm thick Added a 50 mm (length tentative) to the top and bottom of the front/rear panels. This segment will be bent up into the cabin when it is assembled Chose a bend angle of 20 degrees, this angle is tentative pending simulation results. The part files in PDM have been updated in accordance with the design changes shown below:
 Georgia Vachon Westerlund Ran a couple of preliminary aero CFD simulations Took me a while to download and learn the software Created a “control block” with similar dimensions to the cabin to be used as a basis for CFD analysis (CAD available in PDM as well):  Used Ansys fluent to setup meshing, boundary conditions, simulation domain, etc. Results are as follows: For future simulations, would like to determine the effect of the 20 degree bend angle on the lift/drag coefficients New model has already been made, just need to run that simulation later this week and compare results to the control block:  Would like to evaluate the relationship between the bend angle and the lift/drag coefficients Would like to evaluate how effective s-ducts would be (a bit more advanced, I’ll need to get more familiar with Ansys Fluent first).
Aric Quan Sohee Yoon has taken on the Aero-Panel mounting and it’s looking great! Want to explain your idea for the aero-panel mounting in ideas? Aero-Panel Mounting ? My thoughts: I like this idea so far! ? Alternative to the pin, could do a through bolt and a threaded heat-set insert? tbh this way you may not even need the seconded printed piece that mounts to the panels. bad paint drawing: Image RemovedWant to hear what others think about this Jason Li any want to share your seat updates? I see some nice sketches in Seats ! Wallace Lee are you still interested in doing Cargo Compartment ?
