Team #3
Presented by Kevin Badger
Tyler Start

2. Concept #1

3. Concept #1 Pros Cons Stylish Simple to build
Too low-risk, not aggressive enough

4. Concept #2

5. Concept #2 Pros Cons Stylish, especially “stinger”
Simple flying wing--fewer parts to build
Cons
Achieving target CG location
Stability will require careful analysis and airfoil selection

6. Concept #3

7. Concept #3 Pros Cons Risky--stretches the envelope
Stylish and Unique
Good fuselage volume for gear
Numerous “escape routes” if proposed design fails: tractor engine, twin tails, aileron only, fixed landing gear
Cons
Haven’t studied canard stability
Harder to model behavior
Complex structure
