Post-comp fixed wing | Wing Design |
Task Description
Based upon current CAD of the wings and research completed, design ailerons for our wings to allow for the correct flight controls. Refer to Wings for the design decisions made for the wings. The CAD can be found in PDM at Fixed Wing → Fixed Wing Design → Wings.

Hinge Design Updates:
Important Notes:
Due to the weight associated with adding a structure for mounting the flat face of Design 1, the decision was made to instead use the existing aileron-side hinge alongside a pivot spar.
Alongside this, the number of hinge points was reduced from 4 → 2 to simplfy the mountinng of the end plates of the aileron.
Finally, the general modifications to the main wing was standardized between the the Overlap and Hinge Design to minimize the time for integration.

The Hinge Aileron Design is shown below:
Dimensions
Aileron Span: 254.9mm
Aileron Cord: 57.0598mm
Weight:
Aileron: 26.94 grams
Wing with Aileron: 243.47 grams
