2023-04-04 ICARUS Sync

Meeting Scope

  • Track state of Cornflakes airframe post previous flight test

  • Identify and update deliverables, 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

  • Track state of Icarus frame and when it will be ready for wiring

    • Cabin mounting of electronics, etc. should be ready

    • Can assemble frame and have it ready for wiring Friday

  • Concerns regarding onsite engineering bandwidth available re EE and EFS to wire and harness Icarus

    • Lot of availability right after exam to work on Icarus

    • Will have to do harnessing during exams - not ideal

    • Harnessing will start during Easter long weekend

  • Lessened availability for flight test this weekend due to Easter long weekend

    • @Daniel Puratich will be FTL
