Performance Tests is where students take control over their project and complete small tasks and try to complete the Mission Concept Review
FINAL DESIGN
Present AEV Design

3. Data Analysis – What does it mean?
Labs
AEV and AEV Component Testing and Analysis
PT1
AEV Concepts Testing and Analysis
PDR
AEV Operational and Component comparisons
Design decisions and supportive data for selected AEV concept
Through the first two (2) Performance Tests, the AEV systems have been investigated and a design software tool has been developed to assist in furthering the AEV design.
Performance Test 2 investigates the operational characteristics of two (2) AEV concepts, selected by a structured and unbiased screening/scoring method.
The three (3) Performance Tests provide a foundation to develop a Preliminary Design Review document through constructive design decisions and supportive experimental data. An AEV is selected based from the PDR investigations and considerations to be enter detail design considerations, and preparation for the Critical Design Review

4. Performance Test 1 – Test Readiness Review Requirements
A small document reviewing what the team is going to accomplish this week and who is going to accomplish what tasks.
Performance Test 1: Create two different AEV vehicles and determine which system is a better, energy efficient vehicle.
Due: Beginning of PT1 – Lab 08A!

5. Performance Test 1 – Lab Memo Requirements
Assemble Second AEV Concept.
Discuss the necessary tests needed in order to complete the concept comparisons, and testing strategies (division of the team) to accomplish the goals.
Discuss the results from the necessary tests.
Finish Tasks for Performance Test 1 and write summary results as part of Preliminary Design Report (PDR).
Divide and conquer the tasks that the teams needs to complete. Tasks could be building the second AEV, making the same AEV program, any extra wind tunnel tests
