  2. Mission Overview • Measure lateral wind speeds at different altitudes

  3. Design

  4. Testing Wind Tunnel

  5. Ice test temperature Insidetemp Outside temp

  6. Whip test

  7. Drop test

  8. Staircase Test

  9. Expected Results • Wind speed will reach a max at Jet stream • Between 4 and 8 miles high • 150-300 mph • Altimeter of bike computer will not function properly • speed of ascent and maximum altitude • Right before burst wind will measure at or close to 0 mph.

  10. Biggest Worries • Ability of bike computer to work in cold temperatures and at high altitudes • Structural integrity of anemometer blades

  11. Requirements Flowdown Mission Statement: Find an optimal altitude for wind power generation Mission Objective: Record data on wind velocity that we can analyze and interpret LEVEL 0: We will use a bike computer to record wind velocities with an anemometer we will make, we will also make sure its under 850 grams Level 1.1: Internal data storage for the bike computer 1.2: Make sure the heater works properly 1.3: No anemometer interference with string tube Level 2.1: Bike computers internal power is enough for entire flight 2.2: The heater works and has enough power for the entire mission 2.3 Light weight cage for small impact protection of anemometer
