Group 2 Design Proposal

propulsion

• electric motor

• VTOL combined with wings to help in fast flight

• combined wings and rotors

form factor

• modular (skeleton with removable battery box, electronics box, cabin, etc)

passengers carrying

• one cabin with 6 people

• one with more (?)

CV

• autonmous path finding

• maybe not autonomous landing?

What should it look like?

Form Factor

• Combined VTOL or Wings (quad or tri copters)

• Common mating for different sections of the aircraft for modularity (wings come off) (different sensors)

• We are split on realism (Ideally realistic)

• Doors big enough for hands (or passengers slide out for easy access)

1 or 2 drones

• 1 but with Reduancy (Cameras (?), whole aircrafts, modularity)

How do we control drone?

• electronics (4 props)

Power

• Lithium, (solar panels for fun)

Landing Succesfully

• Landing suspension

• Good cameras (not black and white) and sensing

• Stable Props and Base

• Consistency (Autonomy or pilot practice)

High Speed

• VTOL with wings

• Light weight

• Aerodynamics

Pathfinding

• GPS

Minimize Weight

• Material Selection

• Composites (Light weight while maintaining enough strength)

Foot Print

• Landing gear has to have some room for error (maybe 6in all the way around)

• Wings could be larger

Passengers

• 3D print harness

• Doors on the side

• Load quickly (to not cut into time)

Sensors

• IMU, GPS, Camera (360 view?)

Connectivity

• Tracking antenna (?)

Basically this but maybe 4 props

Trinity F90+ - Fixed-Wing VTOL UAV

Note props fold in for fixed wing flight
