5. Maneuverability 1.Speed 2.Degrees of freedom (DOF) 3.Controlled by 1 person, tethered Fd = Cd * ½(ρV 2 A) Cd (cylinder) = 1.5 Cd (circular strut) = 1.2 V = 1.03 m/s (@ 2 knots) ρ = 1025.2 kg/m 3 Initial Drag Estimates: 30 N

6. Propellers Initial propeller designs were estimated using Gawn Data crossplots: BAR = 4(Ad)/Πd 2 = 0.0005/d 2 = 0.2 Kt/J 2 = T/(ρd 2 V 2 ) = 2 P/d = 0.51 Kt= 0.005 J 2 /d 2 J = 0.13 n = V * (30.88)/dJ = 11 402 rpm Friction to Power ratio tests will be undertaken on 3 and 4 blade props.
