Group 1 Design Proposal

Landing/Takeoff 

• Prioritize spars under wings for quadcopter, if damage = bad

• Possible tricopter? 

• Hatch idea

  • Landing gear with suspension

Sensors

• LiDAR could help greatly increase accuracy  for pad selection, landing et cetera have funding for anyways

• 2 cameras (forward and downward facing) 

Form factor 

• Fixed Quad Combo -> helps keep things consistent across tasks (quad helps takeoff & landing)

• 2 metres wingspan 

• Packing factor to get to comp  

Packing people 

• Could pack people in a circle formation 

• Or L shape

Battery 

• Hydrogen fuel cells as battery system for drone? (But is lighter -> can choose how heavy we want)

• 2 large batteries (consensus) 

Other:

• Autopilot fallback
