How Does a Fuel Cell Work?• Water from the
reservoir is separated• Hydrogen enters Anode
and breaks down• O2 enters Cathode and
breaks down• Hydrogen Protons
migrate through PEM• Electrons pass around

Wing Design• Using metal CNC die, carbon wing shell can
be vacuum bag molded• Use of mold/casting methods eliminates
need for foam core• Vacuum bagging produces lightest weight
and highest quality • Carbon wing spar with honeycomb internal
structure offers high weight to strength

Individual Conclusions & Recommendations• Conclusions
– Low Reynolds flow is a growing field– Structural analysis of composites is difficult
• Recommendations– Full FEA analysis of wing structure– Thorough verification of aerodynamic characteristics
using more advanced CFD– Talk to composites expert about best options

Airfoils Selection• Wing root uses S4022 airfoil• Wing tip uses Wortmann FX 60-126 airfoil• S4022 is design for low Reynolds number and
high lift• Wortmann FX 60-126’s geometry is design to
achieve aerodynamic twist for stability• Use XFLR5 to analyze the wing

Federal Aviation Regulations• Two means of operating UAS in NAS outside of “restricted” airspace
– Special Airworthiness Certificate – Experimental Category– Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA)
• FAA created the Unmanned Aircraft Program Office (UAPO) and the Air Traffic Organization (ATO) UAS office to help integrate UASs into the NAS
• FAA is working with members of the UAS community to define operating and certification requirements that are critical for allowing UAS access to the NAS
• The FAA has tasked RTCA to advise on technical issues of developing UAS standards targeted to be complete before 2015. Two questions that need answering;– How will UASs handle communication, command, and control?– How will UASs “sense and avoid” other aircraft?
