2. Goal of Project  Our goal was to design and fly a Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) that could hold a 20g micro DVR to focus on targets in an area.  Learn to use Pro/Engineer Wildfire 4.0 to design parts of the MAV  Have fun!

3. Requirements of Project  The MAV must take off and land from the ground.  It must fly for 5 minutes without recharging.  It must be controlled by a 2.4GHz transmitter in a 50’ x 30’ x 20’ indoor space.

4. Preliminary Research  We learned about various types of MAVs and watched videos of them in action.  We flew the Parrot AR Drone in class.  We researched different types of MAVs as well as how to control a fixed-wing MAV in flight.

5. Use of Google Code  http://code.google.com/p/es-100-project- mav/ http://code.google.com/p/es-100-project- mav/  Downloading images, sharing Pro/Engineer parts and keeping track of progress

8. Purchase and Practice with a Trainer MAV  We purchased a ParkZone Night Vapor and used it as a trainer.  It is lightweight and ready to fly straight out of the box.

9. Creation of Computer Models of Parts using Pro Engineer

10. Assembly Model using Pro Engineer

11. Actual Construction of Slow Stick  We met together to put the slow stick together over a period of three days working for three hours each day.  The battery was connected via electronic male and female connectors.  The motor as connected to a speed control.  The speed control and servos were connected to the receiver.

12. Practice Flying with Slow Stick

13. Results  The slow stick weighed 455 grams.  We designed a camera mount in Pro/Engineer that would be created by a 3d-printer.  We successfully got it to fly

14. Sharing of Work  Elliot Penn  Elliot Penn – Group Leader, Creator and Manager of Google Code, Purchase of Trainer  David Palmer  David Palmer – Building of Slow Stick, Purchase of Slow Stick parts, Gantt Chart  Becca Levin  Becca Levin – Bill of Materials, Preliminary Presentation, Final Report  Will Severynse  Will Severynse – Building Slow Stick, Flying Slow Stick, Kept track of money  Jason Mei  Jason Mei – Building Slow Stick, Creating pictures of pro engineer parts to share dimensions  Nick Proto  Nick Proto – Final Presentation, building slow stick *These are just some examples and mostly there were multiple people working together to complete tasks*

15. Improvements  Better communication  Use screws instead of tape  Fly the plane in safer areas and don’t “take it to its limits”  More frequent uploads to Google Code  Better care of Lithium-ion Polymer batteries  Set goals and deadlines

16. The End We all worked together to complete this project. We consider this project a success Thanks to Professor Charles Kung for his help in this project
