Motor Shield

Justin

• Reproduced UofT’s design

• Mass at 100% infill PET from SolidWorks show 40.5 g. Current mount weighs 30 g.

• Don’t know how effective this shield is at protecting the motor tbh.

Frame

• Waterproofing updates

  • Discussion last Saturday

  • Spoke with Midsun aero lead, we can use their thermoformer (SDC gave it to them since no one uses it so its free realestate)

  • Forming area of thermformer is 18 x 27 inches. X-frame spans 16.6 x 16.6 inches

    • curve around the arm clamping bolts

New Tasks

• VTX mount

• EP2 Case

Wings

• info on reading NACA airfoils

• Stanford aero course linked in decision doc

  • Nathaniel looking into different shapes this week

• Use balsa for ribs instead of aluminum

  • maximize surface area between the wrap and the rib

• 4 ft wing span

• define speed and other constraints to choose airfoils
