Changing Mech Parameters

• Standardizing to metric system to avoid conversion

• ~1.1kg battery weight, 6S power system

  • motor is selected

  • Everything else is up to mech entirely

• Wingspan of ~1.2 to ~1.4 meters is too short for 5kg ?

  • Fixed Wing 2025

  • New target

• How much does the making it a VTOL matter?

  • The idea of this program is get good at fixed wing first and foremost.

• Glider vs Sport

  • these are very very different

  • aspect ratio relation to wing loading

Frame

• wait for electronics placement

• upgrading saladworks solidworks will be a CAD blocker

Pilot Training

• first flight test is too far

• more foam plane building to practice

• meter stick wingspar

• make pilot mistakes before we get to expensive plane

PCB Projects

• 6S power module: just starting

• 6S servo module: not started

• 12S servo module: needs testing

• ZP3 Flight Interface: One is ready for EFS handoffAndrew Chai

Sysint

Mech

• Working on a calculator that outputs range, speed based on input airfoils

• Nose separate from frame, will mount to fuselage to experiment with different nose shapes

• One tube between fuselage and tail (aluminum)

• Airfoil selection is done (NACA 4412), frame design is in progress

• 2024-07-10 Mechanical Meeting Minutes

EE

• BMS for the fixed wing by end of fall term

• 6S servo module not started yet, hoping for design by end of term

EFS

• Parts of zeropilot are not compiling, investigating

• CAN to dshot converter is coming along well, aim to use around first flight of fixed wing
