Meeting Scope

Track state of new Cornflakes airframe post previous flight test
Identify deliverables and owners for each subteam for flight test next weekend
Look into long-term flight test planning (general flow of what we would like to ideally test)

Other Concerns

Battery returns and new battery purchases in time?
- Return label created,
Will competition frame be ready for testing on April 8th?
Procuring new VTX infrastructure
- Video Transmitter giving a lot of issues - only takes specific input voltages, damaged very easily
- Have placed order for video transmitters coming in, more robust and harder to break
- Have one VTX for each frame
- Use 5.8 GHz with high quality antennas in case both 1.3 GHz are blown
Cutoff for when we can’t run competition frame at competition
- Only need one test to validate the frame, cool to take risk from PIC perspective (Anthony)
- Very little odds that we’ll use this frame again in next comp cycle - more likely to damage electronics on Cornflakes than Icarus
- Only use Cornflakes if Icarus is crashed extremely badly before comp (can’t be fixed)
- Fly it at least once before comp

Date	Note
April 2nd	Continuation of March 18th flight test: Fixed Wing Validation Continue rest of the tests “RTL” - set to QRTL (Return in Quad Mode only) We tested this on Houston and it worked last flight test “CS1” Data collection How much energy required to land/take-off, fly a certain distance, etc. Get a much better idea on aircraft characterization as a whole Houston: Get Houston ready VTX with 5.8 GHz (unless 1.3 GHz transmitters is received) Houston will carry second battery FPV Validation with VTX Run VTX Range test (with car, with drone, etc.) auto-land precision How close to target can Ardupilot land given the waypoint, whether CV will be required fixed wing flight battery drain Estimating based on the health of the current battery to extrapolate to new/healthier batteries guided flight mode Try different fixed-wing modes to determine what is more/less relevant Test series of waypoint-following by drone
April 8th	Icarus Frame first flight (reach goal) If not, then CS2 with “Cornflakes”
April 16th	Hold for: Icarus CS2
April 22nd	Continue tasks from CS2
April 29th	1 week before comp - full systems check

Updates:

State of Icarus wiring diagram - Complete by 2-April-2023
Questions on power architecture and other follow-up from RFC re last week
Information: 2023 System Architecture
Develop system block diagram
Top-down physical electronics layout
SMEs:
- Anthony Luo
- Nolan Haines
Rayyan:
- Working on identifying and listing all components/devices required in Power Architecture Power Architecture Devices/Components List
- Working with Farris Matar to categorize all components/devices and find their needed power consumption values Power Distribution Architecture
- Next steps would be to continue working with Farris on Power Distribution Architecture and contacting any other members to ensure accurate work.
Michael:
- Added components from system architecture document to drawio schematic, started connecting new components in schematic
- Next steps involve reaching out to team members for more detailed information to connect the rest of the components.
