** Presentation link for this week is commented below**
Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Full Scale Test Tuesday April 16th, assembly on Monday
Consolidating and comparing Matlab files against scale model videos
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Implementation of drag equations in Matlab
Obtaining multiple fabric samples
Did own testing of scale models
Got videos to measure drag and amplitude
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Sewing fabric to fit for full scale test and assembly (Gwen, Yuji, Nina)
Week 2 Report Draft (Gwen, Nina)
Implement drag into working Matlab code (Alex)
Obtain graphs from Working Model 2D (Engleap, Adam)
Video analysis of scale tests (Gwen and Nina)
Contact with engineering firm for testing procedures (Nina)
Assembly of materials for full scale test (All)
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Concern over the engineering firm having different schedules (4/8, In person meeting)
Nina has been put in contact with the firm to compare testing procedures and plans
Fabric samples chosen (4/8, In person meeting)
Gwen has requested a quote from Quantum Sails for 15+yds for both fabric samples
Risks and Areas of Concern
Ease of quickly putting up and taking down fabric for full scale tests
Matching up test plans with the engineering firm
Schedule
Full scale test April 16th
