2023-02-21 ICARUS Sync

Development of new Frosted Flakes airframe after crash
Discussion of changes to elevator after fixed wing instability
Flight Test planning and requests
- Tasks that need to be done leading up to that
Finances and purchasing more motors/ESCs
- Hold off until we have updated finances

Next Cornflakes redesign
- Frosted Flakes redesign test
- Validate new elevator design and fixed-wing behaviour
- Look into range testing possibly
Mech team might want to spend more time on Icarus rather than spend all time on Frosted Flakes
- Gives more time for EFS and CV to work on systems
- Ensure that the drone and system is a lot more robust
- Will require a decent number of onsite people
- Parallelize electrical and mech work (e.g. soldering, frame manufacturing)
- Likely that we will be running

Subteam	Tasks	Deadlines and Updates	Owner

Subteam	Tasks	Deadlines and Updates	Owner
Mechanical	Rebuild frame Remake wings Remake all control surfaces Redesign elevator with two servos Will stiffen with some harder materials New front motor mount solution (to protect motors)? CAD something to protect motors in case of crash	All metal has been ordered - some has been picked up, some will come in 3-5 days New gussets have been sent to ESMS to be waterjet New wing stencil has been 3D printed Hope is frame built by Feb. 26th - depends on when metal arrives Full Frame Completion: March 3rd	@Alison Thompson
Electrical	Verify functionality of damaged ESCs and motors All three back motors and ESCs should be fine Replace PDB resistors, solder new PDB Order new XT90s once in stock Start planning for new Cornflakes soldering/wiring/harnessing	Wiring begins March 4th Completion by March 9th	@Nolan Haines
Systems Integration	Continuing to review logs and finding more info about the crash-flight Look into Autopilot settings in Ardupilot and validate control surfaces in that mode		@Hamza Ali
Flight Test Co-ordinator	Manage logistics, verify bookings, etc.		@Hardy Yu

March 11th
- Frosted Flakes redesign test
- Validate new elevator design and fixed-wing behaviour
- Look into range testing possibly
March 18th
- Backup for March 11th test
- Work on more test criteria to get data for EFS and CV, get idea of more capabilities of Ardupilot
  - Autonomous flight with waypoints
  - Landing on a landing pad
  - Possibly try running FPV
  - Autoland, more sensors
  - Evaluate flight-time and range
March 25th
- Reasonably possible, depending on previous two weeks
