  1. ES 100 Micro Air Vehicle Project Montgomery College Professor: Dr. Charles Kung Summer I 2012 Team Members: Andrew Joe Laura Mohammad Nathelie Noella Stephanie Thomas

  2. Introduction Our goal is to design a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that can successfully complete the field test equipped with a surveillance mechanism that it can use to capture footage and video.

  3. Objectives The UAV must pass a field test and the requirements include: • UAV must be able to take off and land from tennis court • Flight test should be at least 2 minutes long • UAV must capture video footage from flight to landing

  4. Constraints The UAV must: • Have an operator that uses great caution to ensure the safety/security of any onlookers • Safe/operable design • Weigh a maximum of 450 grams • Operate by battery power (Lipo 1000 mAh, 11.1V , 20C Battery ) • Use a suitable RC frequency (2.4 Ghz)

  5. Plan of Action Steps to completing the project: • Elect a group leader and assign roles • Brainstorm designs that meet with the objectives and constraints • Cost comparison and analysis • Trainer flying practice • Preliminary design process • Design comparison and analysis • Assembly of aircraft • Practice flying the aircraft • Final flight test and evaluation

  6. Plan of Action Diagram

  7. Gantt Chart

  8. Description Things we want to accomplish: • Build a UAV with a camera mount attachment • Minimize cost expenses • Maintain performance and reliability • Maximize and determine the most suitable components

  9. Type of UAV Design Fixed Wing Design

  10. Navigational System Remote Control

  11. Propulsion System Propeller Propulsion

  12. Take-off Mechanism Accelerated Take-off on the surface of Tennis Court

  13. Tail Design Simple Tail Design with a Rudder, Elevator, and Horizontal/Vertical Stabilizer

  14. Camera Mount Design Our Designed Camera Mount

  15. Mechanisms for Securing Components Screws/Bolts and Double Sided Tape

  16. Flight Trainer Chosen The Night Vapor RTF

  17. Basic Platform Chosen The GWS Slowstick Airplane ARF

  18. Motor, Servos, and Power System Chosen Dynamic Power System Kit

  19. Battery and Charger Chosen Sky Lipo Battery and Charger Kit (1000 mAh, 11.1 V, 20 C)
