1. ES 100 Micro Air Vehicle Project Montgomery College Professor: Dr. Charles Kung Summer I 2012 Team Members: Andrew Joe Laura Mohammed Nathelie Noella Stephanie Thomas

2. Introduction Our goal is to design a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with a surveillance mechanism

3. Objectives The UAV must pass a field test and the requirements include:  UAV must be able to take off and land from tennis court  Flight test should be at least 2 minutes long  UAV must capture video footage from flight to landing

4. Constraints The UAV must:  Weigh a maximum of 450 grams  Have a safe design and careful piloting  Operate by battery power (standard 7.2V, 400mAh)  Use a suitable RC frequency (2.4 Ghz)

5. Plan of Action Steps to completing the project:  Elect a group leader and assign roles  Brainstorm designs that meet with the objectives and constraints  Cost comparison and analysis  Trainer flying practice  Preliminary design process  Design comparison and analysis  Assembly of aircraft  Practice flying the aircraft  Final flight test and evaluation
