  5. PDR Overview - Chosen Components Sensor: Controp ESP 600C (27 lbs, X15 zoom lens, 0.7-22.6 degrees FOV). Engine: 3W 275 XiB2 (26 HP, 15.5 lbs). Launching Method: Booster rocket (Launched from a canister).

  6. PDR Overview - 2 Configurations B A

  7. PDR Overview - Final Geometry for PDR

  8. Remarks and Solutions

  9. Airfoil Selection Eppler 560 NACA 0012

  10. Airfoil Selection NACA 4412

  11. Propeller Selection Consulting the engine data and information. The chosen engine 3W:275 XiB2 TS (from the PDR). Engine rotation speed : 1000-7000 RPM power : 26 horsepower =~ 19300 watts. Weight: 15.5 lbs=~ 7 Kg. two blade propeller : 26x16 or 26x14 (“) 3 blade propeller : of 22x14 or 24x14 (“).

  12. Propeller Selection - Calculations – Needed Pitch (From our engine data): engine max RPM is 7000 RPM = 116.67 round per second. Max speed at - 180

  13. Propeller Selection - Calculations – Needed Diameter Our propeller is a 2 bladed-back-folding propeller at the size of 25X18. Direction of flight
