  1. ES 100 Micro Air Vehicle Project Montgomery College Professor: Dr. Charles Kung Summer I 2012 Team Members: Andrew Joe Laura Mohammed Nathelie Noella Stephanie Thomas

  2. Introduction Our goal is to design a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with a surveillance mechanism

  3. Objectives The UAV must pass a field test and the requirements include: • UAV must be able to take off and land from tennis court • Flight test should be at least 2 minutes long • UAV must capture video footage from flight to landing

  4. Constraints The UAV must: • Weigh a maximum of 450 grams • Have a safe design and careful piloting • Operate by battery power (standard 7.2V, 400mAh) • Use a suitable RC frequency (2.4 Ghz)

  5. Plan of Action Steps to completing the project: • Elect a group leader and assign roles • Brainstorm designs that meet with the objectives and constraints • Cost comparison and analysis • Trainer flying practice • Preliminary design process • Design comparison and analysis • Assembly of aircraft • Practice flying the aircraft • Final flight test and evaluation

  6. Plan of Action Diagram

  7. Gantt Chart

  8. Description Things we want to accomplish: • Build a UAV with a camera mount attachment • Minimize cost expenses • Maintain performance and reliability • Maximize and determine the most suitable components
