1. P08121: Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV)
Project Track: Aerospace Systems and Technology
XFOIL Analysis
Preliminary Interfacing Layout
Use of microcontroller to interface between ground and MAV
LabVIEW used to retrieve/interpret data in useful manner
XFOIL program narrowed down choices to three (3) airfoils
Selig S1210 chosen for efficiency vs. AOA range
Courses Utilized for this Project:
Design for Project Management (DPM)
Organizational Behavior
Flight Dynamics
Systems Modeling
Propulsion
Intro to Aerodynamics
Intro to Composites
Statistics
Circuits I
Digital Control Systems
Applied Programming
Electronics
Pro-E generated model shows suggested design for MAV
Flight Dynamics utilized in establishing correct dimensions/placements and stability
Project Deliverables:
Plane is built and fully controllable by an operator on the ground
Integration of components into a single system for use on MAV is designed/implemented
Microcontroller is capable of reading back flight information (pitch, roll, yaw, AOA, velocity)
Testing underway with regards to flight of MAV and microcontroller
