  5. Problem Statement • Students lack proficiency in Engineering • By creating an RC airplane: • Gain knowledge • Gain experience for college environment

  6. Background

  7. Customer • Mr. Pritchard • Mrs. Brandner

  8. Scope

  9. Customer Requirements • Mr. Pritchard • 3 tests on 3 different materials • Strength test on material/prototype • Mrs. Brandner • Complex calculations using physics and calculus • Submit engineering notebook • Additional • Must fit in technology room • Must be tested outside school property

  10. Deliverables • Mr. Pritchard • RC Airplane prototype • Final Report • Design Notebook(s) • Powerpoint Presentation • Mrs. Brandner • Calculations

  11. Brainstorming

  12. Research

  13. Identify Criteria & Constraints • Criteria • Applications of Calculus • Calculations for d(t), v(t), a(t) • Calculations for lift force • Calculations for engine torque • Calculations for thrust • Calculations for types of materials • Optimization with different materials and structures • Submit engineering notebooks

  14. Identify Criteria & Constraints • Criteria • Applications of Technology • Application of the 12 step design process • Testing procedures for different types of materials and their strengths • Submit final report and Power Point • Submit airplane prototype • Submit CAD drawings

  15. Identify Criteria & Constraints • Criteria • Control Panels • Flying tests must be outside school property • Constraints • Must fit inside technology room • 3 ft. wingspan for detail, but not too large

  16. Explore Possibilities
