Course Details Class Time: Tuesday, 3:10 – 4:00 Office Hours: By Appointment Text: Various Handouts, websites, and other references References: Jan Roskam, Airplane Design Darrol Stinton, The Design of the Aeroplane Tony Bengelis Books (Sportplane Construction Techniques, The Sportplane Builder, Tony Bingelis on Engines, Firewall Forward) Prerequisites: Strong desire to learn and be challenged

Real World Design Challenge The RWDC is designed to teach students about aerospace engineering, learn how to work in groups, build presentation and writing skills, and help students understand the challenges associated with ill defined requirements for engineering problems.

Grading Participation 5% Homework 25% Final Presentation* 20% Honda Jet Participation 5% Work on the class & team projects and homework Homework 25% Final Presentation* 20% 30-minute, completeness, innovation, and knowledge Final Report* 30% <75 page report, completeness, innovation and knowledge Total 100% Individual scores will be adjusted from the team scores according to peer reviews

Tour There will be a tour to either Dr Shearer’s shop at 2743 Crone Rd or to the Greene County Airport on Friday 15 November 2013, from 3:30 till 5:00. The purpose of the tour is to see first hand how aircraft are assembled, their structure, and their operation.

Homework Homework will consist of Definitions Schedule Development Tour Write up Basic Aerodynamic Calculations Cost Estimate 5 minute class presentation Draft Report Final Report Final Presentation

Definitions Homework Define 5 of the following aviation/aerospace terms Chord Power Zero lift Angle of Attack Energy Potential Energy Wing Span Kinetic Energy Aviation Aspect Ratio Specific Fuel Consumption Aerospace Incidence Angle Engineering Angle of Attack Power Density (as it pertains to batteries) Flight Dynamics Angle of Sideslip Systems Engineering Tail Volume VHF Vertical Tail Power to Weight ratio UHF ELT Horizontal Tail Wing Loading ADS-B Elevator Stall Rudder Moment Aileron Force Flap

Schedule Development Students should develop a schedule time line which details interim mile stones, review cycles, draft report due dates, and final presentation/report deadlines

Tour Write Up Write 1 to 2 page summary of tour and some aspect of aircraft design that you felt was interesting You may work together on summaries, but you must complete your own work and turn in individual write-ups.

Basic Aerodynamic Calculations, #1 Calculate the lift generated by an aircraft wing given Airfoil Airspeed in KIAS Altitude Temperature Wing area Angle of attack Can assume no loss due to 3-D effects

Basic Aerodynamic Calculations, #2 Students will calcuate the weight and balance of an aircraft given Empty weight and C.G. Removal of an existing aircraft engine Installation of a new engine Installation of a avionics box

Cost Estimate Homework Students will generate a cost estimate of the project once the design challenge is announced Example items to be included Basic hardware costs Direct operating costs Transportation and other logistical costs Personnel costs Profit

Presentations Homework Students will identify an aircraft of interest and present data on Gross weight Empty weight Range Max speed Stall Speed Landing Distance Take off distance

Draft Report Homework Teams will turn in a draft report no later than 4 weeks prior to the due date of the RWDC.

Final Report Students will turn in the final report one week prior to the due date for the RWDC.

Final Presentation Teams will develop a 30 minute presentation detailing their report. The presentations will begin 1 week after the deadline of the RWDC.

Homework Rules Home work will be NEAT and fully explained All homework shall be typed at the maximum extent possible Equations and variables will be defined Units for measurements will be given Spreadsheets will have units and labels You may work together on homework, but you must turn in your own work.
