Eclipse (Fixed-Wing) Airframe

Evan Janakievski

• Following fixed-wing sync discussion yesterday, might make adjustments to the airframe of Eclipse

Wings

Nathaniel Li

• Sohee Yoon great work on the FEA study!

  • Didn’t fracture even at theoretical max lift force during takeoff

  • Possible fracture at higher lift forces occur at the cutout beside the spar cutout and closer to TE

    • This shouldn’t be a concern unless we go past our targeted velocity of 30m/s and undergo max lift

• Reviewing aileron design options

  • 
  • 

• Start manufacturing after midterms
