Attendance

Airframe

  • Almost ready for design review. Flushing out the final features and integrating with the fuselage.

  • Will be ordering parts to manufacture soon.

  • Motor mount redesign in progress and finalizing location of sensors/batteries

    • need to be sure we get the correct type of motor for mounting

...

Landing gear

  • Making Considering to make the landing gear steerable so it does not veer off the runway at low speeds Will add

    • Adding a steerable

    tail
    • rear wheel will be easiest for

    easiest implementation
    • implementation

    • Thoughts on making a plane w/o steerable wheel first and then seeing if we need a steerable one?

      • lock in steerable wheel, could use the same servo for the rudder and the wheel.

      • 6S servo module also has an extra servo channel for this

Wings

  • Fixed up the rib design and currently still running through the FEAs for the ribs

  • Waiting for the ordered parts to come in so that we can test out the installation process of the wings

  • Still need to CAD stoppers to prevent the wings from slipping off the spar (e.g., cap and end stop)

  • Aileron CAD is a WIP; linkage is also going to be developed

  • Need to source an iron (CSA approved) for applying monokote/ultracote, thinking of a small travel sized one

...

  • General design of the shape is finished and currently we have members working on the individual cutout panels

    • Still need to determine how we’ll attach the fuselage to the plane

Empennage

  • Thushanth working on this rn. Plan is to make the H.S. and V.S. tapered to save some weight.

  • 3D printed leading edges similar to the wing.

  • Mounting mechanisms wip

...

Timeline

  • Reasonable Deliverable Goals for this program?

    • Finished fixed wing by end of term is POR
