  1. Connecticut Corsair Senior Design School of Engineering Connecticut Corsair Senior Capstone Design Project

  2. Connecticut Corsair Senior Design School of Engineering Connecticut Corsair Restoring Connecticut’s Airplane to Flight • Overview • Restoration of a Corsair F4U-4 • STEM Programs • Internships • Multiple University Projects • Craig McBurney • Founder • President of Bootstrap Aircraft • Vintage Aircraft Expert

  3. Connecticut Corsair Senior Design School of Engineering Problem Statement Overhaul and reengineer the base of anoutdated and incomplete flight simulator to working condition. The finished simulator in working condition will have movement and visual characteristics of a Corsair F4U-4 aircraft.

  6. Connecticut Corsair Senior Design School of Engineering Mechanical Milestones • Structural Analysis and Redesign of Lower Scissor Arm • Driver Motor Mount Redesign • Drive Motor Analysis and Replacement with Servo motors

  7. Connecticut Corsair Senior Design School of Engineering Servo Motor Analysis and Selection Criteria • Servo motors: stop and hold at position • Three rotary servo motors • Torque and rpm requirements: tbd • Feedback types: position and speed • Brush vs. Brushless • AC vs. DC motors • Encoders vs. Resolvers

  8. Connecticut Corsair Senior Design School of Engineering Servo Motor Analysis and Selection Criteria Brushed vs. Brushless • Brushed generate more heat: friction • Brushless: less maintenance and cleaning • http://www.fadalvmcparts.com/about_servos.html

  9. Connecticut Corsair Senior Design School of Engineering Servo Motor Analysis and Selection Criteria AC vs. DC Motors • Used AC motors are plentiful • Pursuing clarification with Prof. Bazzi and Chris from ServoTech • http://www.moog.com/products/motors-servomotors/servo-motors/compact-dynamic-brushless-servo-motor/

  10. Connecticut Corsair Senior Design School of Engineering Servo Motor Analysis and Selection Criteria Encoder vs. Resolver Feedback • Resolvers do not have electrical components • Are robust and shock resistant • Good for harsh environments • Encoders are both accurate and simple • Best choice
