Mechanical

  • Wings - Nathaniel

    • Prototype mini-wing successfully made

      image-20241105-225824.png

      Increased overall size of ribs by 50% to accommodate components like servos (chord length up from 0.23m to 0.345m)

      • Flight characteristics would be roughly what we expected but with more lift and drag due to a larger wing area

      • 4kg is everything with batteries (including wings) but no tail.

    • Aileron holding back CAD from being finalized

      • Planning to make it out of 3d prints since assembling and wrapping small aileron sections will be challenging (and potentially heavier)

    • CAD for mounts is WIP
