Gantt Chart

Goals  Learn about UAVs  Buy and learn how to fly a trainer plane  Buy Slowstick to measure parts and design Slowstick parts with Pro-E  Design and build camera mount  Test Slowstick camera mount  Report final findings in engineering design report  Give final design presentation

What Is An UAV? What do they encompass  Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Aircraft that operates without pilot on board The may be remote controlled or automated

The history of UAVs  Automated UAVs first employed by the U.S. as a classified project during the Vietnam War Previously only comprised of remote controlled “RPVs”

Subtypes of UAVs

Uses of UAVs  Weather monitoring  Recreation  Mapping  Land surveying  Firefighting  Property surveillance  Long term observation  Military missions-non-/armed, surveillance, single/multiuse  Search and rescue  Payload delivery  Research/scale model testing  Scouting  Orbital platforms: satelites

Requirements of a UAV Control Platform Transmitter or a control station Program for automation A way to receive output from the UAV The Unmanned Vehicle A launcher for the vehicle The Crew Upkeep Flight & control Retrieval May consist of one or more people

Learn How To Fly Trainer  Goal: Fly Trainer Around Post And Land Safety
