4. * To create a miniature vehicle that can hover over surfaces. This miniature vehicle will be controlled by a radio transmitter that will change its direction in a stabilized manner.

5. * Work to be Completed * Conduct research on all the principles involved in the construction of the hovercraft. * Construction of a prototype that can be controlled by a remote. * A final report that details every aspect of the process of making the vehicle. * PowerPoint presentation overviewing the whole process.

6. * Necessary Resources * Purchase of various materials * Hardware store or parts specialist knowledge. * Necessary materials for hovercraft function * Research various topics on the hovercraft * Estimated Project Cost: $125.00

7. * Scope Limitations * Personnel limitations: * Expert advice * Supplies or material limitations: * Cost effective & efficient materials * Proper tool and function * Schedule limitations: * Individual Schedules and commitments

8. * 8.5” by 11” * Hovering Capability * Propulsion System * Turning Capability

9. * Completion of the Design Proposal * Bill of Materials * Test Plans * CAD Drawings * Work Process
