Airborne Sensing Platform for CIAS Team 5008 Christina Alzona Ben Wagner
PDR Outline • Requirements • Concept Development • Feasibility • Analysis • Synthesis • Projected Timeline
Requirements The College of Imaging Science (CIAS) requested an airborne platform to carry advanced sensing instrumentation and telemetering equipment in surveillance applications with these requirements: Carry a 3lb payload Has a cruise speed 15 – 30 mph Has 1 hour endurance Can climb 1000 ft
Concept Development (cont) Fuselage Materials - Carbon, Fiberglass, Wood Engine Location - Front, Back, Top Propulsion - Gas, Electric, Hybrid Batteries - Nimh, NiCad, LiPoly Landing Gear - Trike, Tail-dragger, None at all
Feasibility Results The winners are: • High Wing • Carbon & Fiberglass Materials • Low tail • Front Engine • LiPoly Battery • No landing gear • Electric Engine
Analysis (cont) Weight Motor + Motor Shelf = 1 lb CIAS Payload = 3 lb Main Battery + Receiver + small battery = 2 lb Winter/Spring Project = 1 lb Tail = .2 lb Fuselage = 1.8 lb Wing = 3 lb Total = ~12 lb
More Analysis… Some Important Equations…
