Group 13 Heavy Lift Cargo Plane Stephen McNulty Richard-Marc Hernandez Jessica Pisano Yoosuk Kee Chi Yan Project Advisor: Siva Thangam
Overview • Objectives • Schedule/Progress • Design Concept Summary • Construction • Wing • Fuselage • Tail • Landing Gear • Goals
Objectives • The plane meets the specifications of the 2004 SAE Aero Design West competition • To complete construction by mid April to allow time for testing and modifications • To compete well at competition and improve Stevens reputation • For the team to improve and expand their knowledge of the design and construction of airplanes
Journal/Progress • Construction • Wing • Tail • In progress: • Landing gear • Fuselage • Boom
WingRibs • Selig 1223 • Print and cut original • Metal cut out template • Final for placement in wing
WingConstruction • Leading edge 3/8 in dowel • Tailing edge triangle • Middle spars 3/8 in pine • Ribs balsa
Wing • Full wing laid out • 10 ft wing span • 1 ft cord • Flap 3 ft
