Alison Thompson

Task Description

Designing a mount for the front motor and FPV camera on the fixed wing plane.

Constraints

To be written by the Project Manager. All constraints should be their own row of the table, if a constraint is removed it should be crossed out but left in the table. The append date is when the constraint was last updated (update this when constraints are removed!) DELETE THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PUBLISHING

INITIAL IDEAS

I’m thinking of just a simple sheet metal plate with a right angle bend bolted to the 30.5x30.5mm grid on the frame, open to other ideas if you have them though!

First Glance Notes

  • I am thinking the flanges on the side could be removed and the part could be squared off for weight savings. If we see it needs more stability could be added in the future

  • Will need to 3D print a mount for the camera that then mounts to this. Looks like there is space reserved above the motor for that currently. Vibrations may be a concern, but can be addressed later if a major issue

  • Not sure if there is more possibility for weight savings, which there may be but Alison Thompson may have thoughts.

  • I agree with Evan, side flanges as implemented here aren’t really helping

  • How does the camera mount to this? a 3d print?

  • Can this be added to the fixed wing main assembly with the motor mated to it in the way you’re envisioning?

  • All corners should be filleted

  • idk simulations but Evan Janakievski may be able to help with a sim to see if we can expect this to bend with no supports

  • can look at sheet metal or 3d printed braces to support the motor mount from behind if we expect it to bend

  • once in main assem and camera mount is in there we can see if we can reduce the height of the top flange/round it off

  • I think this part should be a part of the frame assembly, unless others oppose please move there and change naming accordingly

  • part should be the thickness of 14ga aluminum (~1.63mm) (that’s what we can bend)

  • make sure bend radius is at least equal to the material thickness

  • No labels
