  3. As high school students we would like to work on a project that will enhance or understanding of the scientific principles involved in using airflow to both lift an object off the ground and direct its path of travel. Problem Statement

  4. Group Development

  5. Timeline

  6. Background

  7. Customer

  8. Project Scope

  9. Necessary Resources • Purchase of various materials • Hardware store or parts specialist knowledge. • Necessary materials for hovercraft function • Research various topics on the hovercraft • Estimated Project Cost: $125.00 Project Scope

  10. Scope Limitations • Personnel limitations: • Expert advice • Supplies or material limitations: • Cost effective & efficient materials • Proper tool and function • Schedule limitations: • Individual Schedules and commitments Project Scope

  11. Deliverables..?

  12. Brainstorming

  13. Research

  14. In order to successfully complete this hovercraft project there are a few criteria and constraints that have to be met. • Must be no bigger than 8.5’’ by 11’’ • Take atleast100 hours to complete • Must be able to hover • Must be able to make gradual turns • Must be controlled by a remote controller • Must incorporate math and science principles • Must complete all documentation • Yearlong Journal Technical Report • Final Presentation Criteria and Constraints

  15. Solution 1 • Pros • Batteries act as a counter weight to the propulsion fan • Limited use of fans • Cons • Not to scale • The weight of the motors and fans may not be equal causing it to be unbalanced • Not enough information for the fan propelling the hovercraft Exploring Possibilities
