  2. Project Overview • Project Goal • Project Objectives • Junior Design Accomplishments • Summer Contributions • Next Phase of Project • Fall and Spring Overview

  3. The goal of the project is to demonstrate the potential uses of a channel wing aircraft. Channel wing craft possess the potential to take over many, simple roles that would otherwise be filled by expensive and maintenance-intensive rotary-winged craft. It is our intent to prove that channel wings are a viable alternative to helicopters for many roles. Compared to Straight Wing Drag, Lift, and Stall Characteristics Potential Military and Commercial Surveillance Applications ProjectGoal Robert J. Englar “Experimental Development and Evaluation of Pneumatic Powered-Lift Super-STOL Aircraft” www.airandground.com www.airandground.com

  4. Channel Wing Lift Validation Design Prototype Aircraft Design and Construct Prototype Wing For Testing Purposes Design and Construct Complete Working Prototype Perform Flight Tests Using Prototype Model Refine Prototype Through Wind Tunnel Tests and Construct Dedicated VTOL Aircraft Add Payload for Distinct Missions Channel Wing VTOL Prototype Project Objectives Robert J. Englar Robert J. Englar

  5. Design, Develop, and Test Channel Wing Prove Channel Wing Lift Concept Record Flight Characteristics of Channel Wing Record Wind Tunnel Data for Channel Wing Perform Analysis of Data Design, Develop, Test, and Fly Prototype Develop VTOL Channel Wing Prototype Compare to Conventional Straight Wings Project Requirements

  6. Fuselage Testing Initial Concept Studies and Preliminary Design Literature Review Preliminary CAD Drawings Initial Calculations Design Showcase Poster Board and Concept Handout Prelim Manufacturing: Fuselages, Wings, and Structural Tests Prelim Wind Tunnel Testing Junior Design Accomplishments Prototype Development Concept Handout

  7. Application of Systems Engineering Engine to Channel Wing Project Design Architecture Requirements and Actions Team structure Project Life-Cycle Phases Project Management and SE Engine Cost effectiveness Risk Assessment RC Flying Time by Team members Channel Wing Lift Stand Design Wind Tunnel Test Design Channel Wing Website Refined Channel Wing Lift Research Summer Contributions NASA Systems Engineering Handbook Rev.
