Initial Design, Testing, and Analysis
1.  CFD calculations for Klein-
Fogleman stepped airfoil.
2.  Control surface structure and wiring
3.  Front landing gear
4.  Rear landing gear
5.  Laser-cut ribs for the wing
6.  Wing design for full wingspan
7.  Fuselage design and finite element
analysis for balsa ribs
8.  Aerodynamic drag calculations
including skin friction

Purpose:
To build an unmanned aerial
vehicle for search and rescue
capable of vertical takeoff and
landing, plotting its own flight path
based on user-inputted human
attributes, and utilize solar energy to
charge and recharge.
Spring Quarter:
•  Reorganized into specific teams
with more clearly defined goals
for greater utilization of time,
energy, and resources
•  Redesigned the plane for greater
strength, durability, and actual
flight
•  Ran better simulations to gather
more accurate data on every
aspect of the plane
•  Learned how to manufacture and
utilized carbon fiber and other
composites as a main method of
fabrication
•  Fly!
Team Structure:
•  Wing Design
•  Aerodynamics and V/STOL
•  Fuselage Design
•  Power Generation
•  Propulsion and Landing Gear
•  Programming and Controls
•  Manufacturing
9.  Balsa fuselage ribs after being laser cut
10. Custom solar panel built by Power Generation
11. First layer of carbon fiber going onto the
fuselage
12. Fuselage “in work” in our lab in EG.
13. Wings and fuselage almost ready for assembly
