9. Questions?

10. Lift Fan Design 26 in. fan diameter Four blade design Constructed out of three 1 in. thick pine boards Blades with varied “angle of attack” for maximum efficiency

11. Lift Fan Angle of Attack

12. Thrust Propeller Design 48 in. propeller diameter Two blade design Constructed out of five 1 in. thick pine boards Blades with varied “angle of attack” for maximum efficiency Analyzed to confirm ideal operation

13. Propeller Analysis

14. Propeller Angle of Attack

15. Craft Balance Issues Center of gravity will be determined using Autodesk Inventor Components will be placed strategically to balance craft Weights will be added for static balance if necessary

16. Duct Construction Thrust duct will be constructed by cutting polystyrene sheets at a large radius Duct will then be wrapped and glued into final shape, and sanded Lift duct will be built into hull, using marine plywood
