Basic Project Information Project Number and Name P09123 Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) Platform Project Family Micro Aerial Vehicle Track Aerospace Systems and Technology Start Term 2009-1 End Term 2009-3 Faculty Guide Dr. Jeffery Kozak (Mechanical Engineering) Faculty Consultants Dr. Agamemnon Crassidis (Mechanical Engineering) Dr. Hany Ghoneim (Mechanical Engineering) Primary Customer Dr. Jeffery Kozak, RIT MAV Team Secondary Customer Impact Technologies
Product Description /Project Overview Mission Statement: The MAV Family of Projects: To build a semi-autonomous, tending towards full autonomy, air vehicle that will be used in the future for Multidisciplinary Senior Design and for graduate studies in the college of engineering and the college of imaging science. To have a hands on aeronautical project for undergraduate students that is of low cost and simplicity as to be able to be made by hand. To provide an incentive for students as well as exposure of engineering at RIT by competing in the more aggressive United States/Europe MAV competition The P09123 Project will: Develop the Platform for an expandable and re-useable Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) that is intended to be used as a basis for current and future MAV design.
Basic Subsystem Layout – “The Diagram” Tail Assembly: -Vertical Stabilizer -Horizontal Stabilizers -Control Servos Fuselage Wing Assembly (2): -Airfoil -Control Surfaces -Control Servos Equipment Cage: -R/F Electronics -GPS -Microcontroller -Batteries Nose Cone Assembly: -Propulsion -Motor/Controller -Propeller
MAV Subsystem Architecture • Propulsion • Thrust Requirements • Propeller • Motor and Controller • Nose Cone Design • Control Surfaces • Servo Actuation • Size, Shape, Function • Material • Location • Fuselage • Material/Construction • Structure • Integration • Wings/Airfoil • Airfoil Shape • Tail Design • Flight Dynamics • Aerodynamics • Material/Construction
