Kite Design Group 6
Stages of the Engineering Design Recognizing the Need • Easier method of casting when fishing • Creating a smooth and stable flying kite Definition of the Problem • Fishermen wanted a way to make a longer cast Gathering the Information • Research was done on different kite designs Conceptualization • We brainstormed a number of different kite designs
Stages of the Engineering Design Compare, Combine, Select Ideas Design Matrix
Stages of the Engineering Design Analyze and Design • Incorporated Box and Airplane Design • Box • Provides lift • Airplane • Reduces drag when reeling in fish
Stages of the Engineering Design Fabricate and Test Prototypes
Errors in Design • Needed larger surface area • Stability in the front of the plane • Experience in flying
