  1. TEAM 1 On Wings like a penguin

  2. Team Members Phil Baah-Sackey, Joe Englin, Chris Lowell, Eu Sung Chung

  3. Project Description • Build an amphibious air cushion vehicle • Approximately 12 x 6 ft, triangular shape • Two engines: one for thrust, another for lift • Lift engine will duct air into skirt using air splitters • Should seat two passengers (~400 lbs) • Attain at least 5 mph

  4. Hull Design • In order to best use resources, a donated engine will be used to lift the craft. • Hull dimensions were determined based on the engine horsepower. • The hull was constructed primarily out of donated insulating foam.

  5. Propeller Design • First the drag on the craft at the desired speed was determined. • From this the required thrust from the propeller was determined. • Using this data the angle of the propeller blade was determined.

  6. Status • Hull completed. • Lift duct installed. • Lift fan completed. • Thrust duct construction started. • Thrust propeller construction started • Hubs and backing plates being made • Engine mount construction begun.

  7. What’s Next? • Cut thrust propeller. • Install thrust duct. • Construct cockpit. • Build rudders and steering. • Cut and install skirt. • Finish metal component fabrication. • Cruise for chicks.
