  feedback/action items from flight debrief:

  • Vertical Stabilizer needs reworking for stability

  • Camera mount for next flight test (get Camera info from Anthony Luo ) Arjun Mandair

  • Push motor and power solution to be evaluated @ Icarus sync

Competition Frame updates

Conall Kingshott

Cabin - skin, main cylinder build Conall Kingshott

• working through cabin integration

• Skin is going to attach to foam ribs using velcro

  • Andrew is working on this, getting extra ribs machined

• Front support bar created, Andrew Wright

  

  • May look at a redesign in the future, but not top of the list

Stiffener for Battery Compartment - Hrishik Patel

• Design done, ready to be printed

Landing gear - Alison Thompson

• Fits well, stiffener cross-bar definitely needed

Nose/tail - Andrew Wright

• Need to look at coating the existing foam ones

Bay door - Vishal Jayakumar

• Updates?

CV camera mount - Arjun Mandair

• Modifying for clearance after test fit?

** Reminders for Comp Frame for General Visibility **

We will need to implement:

• optical flow sensor on bottom

• 360-degree-visibility LED lights. must be done in junction with EE

• forward and downward camera - is this accounted for? - front camera into foam nose cone Megan Spee

• airspeed sensors need to go on icarus

• antenna mounting in general

• arm/disarm switch on the tail - EE junction

Flight tests and comp simulations

Megan Spee

Flight test this saturday March 18!

via flight test channel - “the plan is to test that cornflakes can fly reliably in a fixed wing configuration, as well as gather some preliminary battery life data.”

another flight test March 18

lets not crash x2
