3. Introduction
The project is about enhancing the radio controlled race car through improving its aerodynamics.
This presentation will give an outline of the total project including the key milestones and the total budget

4. Background Information
The RCRC:
First RC motor was built in the 1940’s.
RC car racing began in the 1960's as a hobby.
In the 1970s several U.S. remote-controlled car companies started manufacturing RC cars commercially.
Competitions began by 1979.
The Aerodynamics:
Started in the 17th century and still being studied up till today.
4 forces :
Drag
Thrust
Lift
Weight

5. Project Statement
After gaining knowledge of new aspects, it is now possible to develop a project plan to reverse engineer the radio control car:
The project statement is as follows:
Gain better understanding of aerodynamics and implement what was learnt.
Achieving the highest outcome possible from the team members.
Improving our hand skills and performing what was learnt in to reality.

6. Engineering Methodology
Pre-dissection process: Background information from various sources.
Dissection process:
Disassembling a sample RCRC to get the idea of how it works.
Investigate any potential improvements.
Evaluation of the improvements suggested and creating several conceptual designs.
Prepare a detailed descriptions of the final chosen design including the materials, dimensions, weight and cost.
Building the final design prototype.
Usage of Ms Project.
