High Technology Project Future Expectations FWMAV Project Real life Project Challenging Goal Ambition to create something new Not only Practical and Theoretical work Team working High Technology Project Future Expectations 2. My Vision of the Project

2. My Vision of the Project FWMAV Project   BASIC ENGINEERING In order to design and create the entire FWMAV, it must be done the basic analysis and design of the main parts of the FWMAV. They could be separated in three different fields: MECHANICS: Aerodynamic Design, Flight Dynamics research and design of the Mechanical Structure ELECTRONICS: Electronic and Power systems design, including batteries, engines and other main components. CONTROL: Research of the MAV behavior and Design of the control systems. RESEARCH The main objective of the project is to make a research about three different fields: Unsteady aerodynamics: Analysis of real wing aerodynamics and Research of the different wing profiles and structure shape. Flight dynamics: Analysis of the real bird behavior, and Research the MAV’ behavior. Control: Analyze how the must be controlled the MAV. PROJECT MANAGEMENT To create a professional and successful Project, it is crucial to take care about the project management and its marketing: Project Management: All Great Team groups have a team structure, with its own subgroups. In our case, each one must be specialized in one aspect of the project and should work together with the rest of the subgroups. The aim, is to work efficiently. Marketing: It must be also included a project promotion, such as Team brand, web information and project explanation conferences, if it could be possible. Work for the recruitment of new researchers should be also another interesting issue. 2. My Vision of the Project
