Why a Four-Balloon Diamond Design? • Benefits: • Advantageous payload • Stability in all directions • Vectored Thrust
Control Systems • Vectored Thrust: one servo controls pitch of motors, another servo controls yaw of motors • RC control (human factors)
Aerodynamic Analysis • Maximum Thrust (from table): 1.4N total from 2 large motors • Mass: 1.2-1.4kg • Maximum Acceleration = Thrust/Mass = .9-1m/s2 • Terminal Velocity = 1-1.2 m/s • Time Estimate: 90-130 seconds
Design Evolution • Reshaping control assembly to allow room for propellers to turn • Motors mounted under control assembly instead of on top • Extra bracing required on control assembly • Psychological evolution: new improved team name! <-- motor mount prototype
Conclusions • Designed for stability and payload rather than aerodynamics/speed • Building left: attach motor mount to fuselage, balloon attachment net • Testing: controls response, practice using rc controller
