Team DISCovery-Experimental DiscRotor Team Members: Jae Lee, Ryan Schaefer, Alex Telionis, Zach Vane Advisor: Dr. Demetri Telionis, Chris Mesrobian The goal of this project is to validate the theory that multiple DiscRotor aircraft will outperform single DiscRotor and traditional rotorcraft. Key Features: Our group will test two and three disc configurations in a wind tunnel environment. We will then compare lift and drag data to that of a single disc from previous experiments. Our results will also be evaluated against traditional fixed wing and hover aircraft. Wind tunnel testing of Reverse Velocity Rotors (RVRs) will also be done in order to analyze more aspects of the DiscRotor concept. We will then compare our RVR data to that of the Computational Fluid Dynamics group. From Left to Right: Zach Vane, Ryan Schaefer, Jae Lee Not Pictured: Alex Telionis
