Group Members Group Leader: Ben Hindman • Jamie Ertel • Sam Cheng • Jonathan Kandel • LaineyBartos • Michael Kelly
UAVs What is it? • An Unmanned Aerial, or Air, Vehicle (UAV) is according to MSN Encarta an "uncrewed reconnaissance vehicle: an uncrewed aerial vehicle that can fly over combat zones and staging areas, dropping supplies to troops, releasing bombs, carrying out reconnaissance on enemy forces." Uses? • Remote sensing • Commercial aerial surveillance • Oil, gas and mineral exploration and production • Transport • Scientific research • Armed attacks • Search and rescue
Objectives Utilize the knowledge learned in each phase of the course including conceptual design using engineering sketches, detailed design using Pro/ Engineer, and cost analysis and material list preparation using Excel to design a micro air vehicle
Design Details 1. Structure and payload requirements • A quick mount should be provided for a 20-g micro DVR. • The maximum weight of the vehicle including payload should be 450 g. 2. Mode of flight requirements • Ground takeoff and landing is required (no toss). 3. Power and propulsion requirements • The vehicle must be able to fly for at least 5 minutes without replenishing or recharging its energy source. 4. Control requirements • The vehicle must be controlled by a 2.4G Hz radio transmitter in a 50’x30’x20’ indoor space with smooth floor. (The width of an NBA basket ball court is 50’)
Design Details cont. 5. Mission requirements • Endurance - fly as many figure 8 paths around two pylons separated by 30’ in five minutes. 6. Cost requirements • Total as-built replacement cost of the vehicle and the trainer must be less than $250. • The cost must be broken down in a Bill of Materials (BOM), in which the Fair Market Value (FMV) of each component must be listed along with the part number, vendor and quantity. 7. Product deliverables • The MAV. • The preliminary design presentation (PowerPoint slide file) • The final design presentation (PowerPoint slide file) • The final printed design report.
Design Drawings • Slowstick assembly
