  1. TEAM 1: ON WINGS LIKE A PENGUIN ENGINEERING 339 – SENIOR DESIGN

  2. Team Members Phil Baah-Sackey, Joe Englin, Chris Lowell, Eu Sung Chung 1/19 Team 1: On Wings Like A Penguin

  3. Presentation Outline • Problem Definition • Project Description • Design Norms • Important Resources • Engineering Analysis • Feasibility Study Results • Obstacles and Accomplishments • Questions 2/19 Team 1: On Wings Like A Penguin

  4. Problem 3/19 There are some situations where neither aquatic vehicles nor land vehicles can access certain locations In these situations an amphibious vehicle that travels above the surface could reach these locations Team 1: On Wings Like A Penguin

  5. Project Description • Build an amphibious air cushion vehicle • Should seat two passengers • Two engines: one for thrust, another for lift • Approximately 12 x 6 ft, triangular shape • Lift engine will duct air into skirt using air splitters 4/19 Team 1: On Wings Like A Penguin

  6. Design Norms • Humility – The project is not perfect • Integrity – Carefully crafted • Transparency – Easily understandable and operable 5/19 Team 1: On Wings Like A Penguin

  7. Important Resources • Professor Heun • Universal Hovercraft Homebuilders Showcase • The Internet (Various Sites) • The Hekman Library • Brian, Friend of Dave Ryskamp 6/19 Team 1: On Wings Like A Penguin

  8. Thrust Propeller Analysis • Determined propeller tip speed would not exceed the speed of sound • Calculated craft drag forces and determined required propeller pitch • Calculated angle of attack along the propeller blade 7/19 Team 1: On Wings Like A Penguin

  9. Propeller Analysis 8/19 Team 1: On Wings Like A Penguin

  10. Propeller Angle of Attack 9/19 Team 1: On Wings Like A Penguin

  12. Team 1: On Wings Like A Penguin 11/19

  13. Lift Fan Case Study • Designing a lift fan is an iterative process • Investigated three other functioning hovercrafts of similar size and weight • Determined lift engine specifications • Obtained general idea of lift fan dimensions Team 1: On Wings Like A Penguin 12/19

  14. Team 1: On Wings Like A Penguin 13/19

  15. Team 1: On Wings Like A Penguin 14/19

  16. Feasibility Study Results • Approximately 6.5 horsepower lift engine • Approximately 16 horsepower thrust engine • 26 inch diameter lift fan • 42 inch diameter thrust propeller • Hull will be constructed of extruded polystyrene foam and marine plywood Team 1: On Wings Like A Penguin 15/19

  17. Obstacles and Accomplishments Obstacles • Sourcing low cost materials • Determining lift fan specifications • How much power? Accomplishments • Obtained free lawnmower engine • Ordered thrust engine • Begun sourcing other materials • Finished Autodesk model Team 1: On Wings Like A Penguin 16/19
