Group 13 Heavy Lift Cargo Plane Stephen McNulty Richard-Marc Hernandez Jessica Pisano Yoosuk Kee Chi Yan Project Advisor: Siva Thangam
Overview • Objectives • Schedule • Progress • Design Concepts and Analysis • Wing • Fuselage • Tail • Landing Gear • Goals
Objectives • Competition Specs are finally posted for the 2004 competition • The plane meets the specifications of the 2004 SAE Aero Design West competition • Construct the plane to design specifications • Test the plane and make optimizations • To compete well at competition and improve Stevens reputation • For the team to improve and expand their knowledge of the design and construction of airplanes
Limited wing planform area Limited lift force produced Optimize: Fuselage design Materials used Goal: Minimum drag Minimum weight Unlimited wing planform area Limited thrust force produced Optimize: Wing span Fuselage design Materials used Goal: Minimum weight Approach
Design Achievements • Breaking down the plane into smaller components • Brainstorming different ideas for designs • Team divided into smaller groups • Areas studied in smaller group: • Selection of airfoil • Selection of wing shape • Tail stabilizer (both horizontal and vertical) • Landing gear analysis • Fuselage design • Detailed design of aircraft finalized
Calculation Achievements • Calculation of every component completed • Equations and resources from: • textbooks • online researching • white paper (Provided by SAE) • Calculations done with Excel Spreadsheet • Easy to link one value to another • Graphs were easy to compare which design is more efficient • Change around numbers • compare which aircraft design performs best upon constructing and testing • Results used in selection of airfoil, wing shape, and tail stabilizer • Calculations of Landing and Take-off
Sample EquationsLanding Run Distance • Differential Equation of Motion • Landing ground runway • Coefficients A and B • Stall Velocity
CAD model Achievements • Team finished Computer Aided Design on the aircraft with SolidWorks • Animations were created • Blueprint of the aircraft ready to be printed
