Not Attending

key people who aren’t here

  •  

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

    • 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

Avionics

  •  

Timeline

  • Manufacturing and ground testing timeline thoughts?

  • Nathaniel - Wings can most likely be manufactured by end of November
