Comp Design Direction

Alison Thompson

• Camilo Artigas Alos any landing gear updates?

  • Initial design was due today, what is blocking you + how much time do you need?

• Agapa Goombs clamping block updates?

  • ETA on height fix?

• Megan Spee water tank initial design?

  • I see you’re exploring COTS, personally think 3D printed would be cleaner and Conall’s 3D prints have been holding water well

• Jievan Tapajna Victor Sun Pump Research and Integration convo

  • Can we look into valves for release? I linked one in the doc last week

Evan Janakievski

New Tasks!

Watarrow consultation

Smile Khatri

• Chatted w/ Watarrow members about wing constructions. Key points summarized below:

  • Moving away from monokote heat shrink wrap

    • Time consuming to manufacture

    • Decent amount of concaving w/ 1/16th ribs

    • Used non-CSA approved iron. The play might be to use te

  • 3D printed leading edge could be a problem - the ironing process could require about 200 deg C, which will probably melt/deform the 3D prints. Another option is to buy a bar of wood and CNC it to the shape.

Tracking Antenna

Sohee Yoon

• Agapa Goombs how’s the new updates coming? Tracking Antenna Base Plate Redesign

Fuselage

Sohee Yoon

• Calum Chisholm any updates on the new fuselage shape? Fuselage Design

• How are we attaching the fuselage to the airframe?
