  1. Research Topic for Aaron Quitberg and Jacob Marsh UAVs Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

  2. Ideas • Implementation of carbon fiber and carbon fiber/ Kevlar hybrid composites in the traditional UAV wing used by USU in crop and agricultural surveying. • Improve cargo holding area and minimize drag. • Analyze qualitatively the differences between the two UAVs. • Better placement of UAV electronics

  3. Carbon fiber costshttp://www.shopmaninc.com/carbonpage.html •  5.5oz '1st Quality' 4HS Satin Weave Carbon Fiber • [Enlarge Photo]Weight: 5.5osyWeave: 4 Harness SatinTow Size: 3KThickness: .009" • Very drapable fabric suitable for most cosmetic or structural applications. 4 Harness satin weave offers unique appearance. • 5.5oz 4hs - 49 inch widthMay 2009- IN STOCK - • 30" Width Cat No. • Description • Price • FG-CF5549 • 5.7oz x 49" Width • $26.50/ Yard • Same • 5+ Yards • $24.00/ Yard • Same • 10+ Yards • $22.00/ Yard • Same • 20 or more Yards • $20.00/ Yard • Same • Full Roll (100yd) • Call for availability Total surface area ~14 ft sq

  4. Photos Rough Two downward bumps are not aerodynamic. Lens protectors are acting as landing gear and become scuffed. Lots of drag and turbulence is created with poor door design

  5. Improvements Smooth aerodynamic body that minimize drag Flush doors Flat bottom Skid pads on bottom Hard frame will allow for level and secure placement of electronics and components Lower energy consumption thus increasing fly time More cargo capability (forward looking camera)

  6. Wing with canopy to raise cameras for less obstructions on bottom airfoil

  7. Cutout locations for hardware and components

  8. Canopy over cameras

  9. Front view with no obstructions on bottom airfoil due to canopy instillation

  10. Questions, Comments?
