What is Aero Design Series?

The Aero Design competition isintended to provideundergraduate and graduateengineering students with a real-life engineering challenge.



5/17


Regular Class Design Objective:

The objective of Regular Class is to

design an aircraft that can lift asmuch weight as possible whileobserving the available power and

aircrafts length, width, and heightrequirements.



6/17


Why Participate? Its Fun. Hands on design-build-fly experience

Prepare for professional level coursematerial

Build connections and communicationskills as well as lifelong friends

Apply what you learn in class to a realengineering challenge

Learn from upper level undergraduateand graduate students



7/17


Phase 1: Technical Report (50pts)Teams will electronically submit their proposals forcompetition detailing how their design has met orexceeded the design requirements.

Phase 2: Technical Presentation and

Inspection (50pts)Phase 2A Payload Loading Demonstration (timed

event during Oral Presentation).

Phase 2B Payload Unloading Demonstration

(timed event during Oral Presentation)Phase C Oral Presentation

III. Planned Design Process (Week 1)

1. Build Resource DatabaseTextbooks, Books, PDFs, Videos, Websites, Software, etc.

Flight - RC controllers, maneuvering, best flight

path, etc.

Performance - Takeoff, climb, flight, landing.

Stability and Control - Control effectors,stability factors, stabilizing surfaces.

Aerodynamics - Airfoils, wings, neutral point

Structures - Building methods, material and

structures research (especially wing spar).

Center of Gravity.

Systems - Propulsion, landing gear, payload bay,

electrical systems.
