  2. Students must form groups, design, and create a MAV following a number of constraints. It will be tested in a competition on December 19, 2012. Summary

  3. Required Capabilities • Take-off and Landing • Endurance • Design Constraints • Total Payload • Propulsion • Transmitter Frequency • Cost • Control/Stability Summary Cont.

  4. Plan

  5. Plan Cont.

  6. Basic MAV Type • GWS Slowstick • Propulsion • Electric brushless motor, dual blade propeller • Navigation • Fixed Wing Description

  7. Overall Design • Camera Mount • Removed • Take-off • Mechanisms • Securing Components Description Cont.

  8. Practiced with the Night Vapor RTF plan • Managed to keep the GWS Slow-Stick plane light • Finding the CG allowed balance and better flight • Materials used provided adequate durability. • Programmed the stabilizers and the elevator correctly with the joystick. Allowed us to control the plane correctly • Spare propellers were needed since we broke a few • Disconnecting the battery helped us to save power. Analysis

  9. Necessary Components • Information Sources & their Importance • Innovations on the Assembly • CreoDrawings • MAVPICS Assembly

  10. Sketch

  11. Initial Mismanagement • Problems with Communication • Additional Costs Cost

  12. Total Cost 219.01 Cost Cont.

  13. Cost • Time • Crashing Problems & Solutions

  14. Comparisons • Vapor • Slowstick • Failures • Propeller • Take-off method • Other problems • Battery pack • Wind Performance

  15. Goals of the project • Accomplishments • Lesson Learned Conclusion
