PLANING
PLANING
The first step for DBF is to coordinate all aspects of planning and concept development based on the AIAA-DBF rubrics. The mission requirements and objectives are reviewed and analyzed. Project proposals and reports. Airfoil selection and wing optimization. Softwares utilized: Python, Matlab, XFLR , LateX.
TESTING
Wing. tip testing. Electronic and surfaces control testing. Conducting flight tests with the flight test engineer for DBF fly-days. Performing both aerodynamic static and dynamic stability. This phase requires a lot more revisions, adjusting and altering some or parts of the airplane components. Writng up testing reports and performance metric analysis.
DESIGN
First base prelimnary desgin. Subsystem components overview and analysis. CAD drawing, Modeling, Electrical and proplusion schematics. Motor and Battery loading. Detail functional design. Softwares utilized: Solidworks, MotoCalc, Ansys, FEniCSx.
MANUFACTURING
Fabrication of all desgin components. CNC the composites and foam boards. 3D printing the parts. Laser cutting the balsa woods. Sanding and epoxying the carbon sheets and fiber cloth. Integrating all the structural compnents like the fuselage, wing, . controlers, landing gear, motor and head cone. Softwares utilized: Autocad, Rhinocerous 6, Solidworks and such.
