Group was formed
Leader was elected to be Shaun Perera
Team name was decided to be Flappy Birds
Themed mascot was decided to be Zapdoz
(evolution of the flappy bird)
Logo 1 was designed
Identified roles assimilating an aeronautical firm
Established a workflow breakdown for the project
Produced a Gantt Chart for the project
Created Budget plan based on material specified in appendix B in the project guideline
Established Official Logo
Referred:
Textbooks
SAE report on previous builds of RC planes
Research Papers
Site Structure was developed for publication of weekly progress
Selected prospective designs for each subsystem
scored them based on a scoring matrix to develop a preliminary design
The electronics that were ordered in week 2 arrived
Conceptual drawing was finalized
Having finalized on our conceptual design specifications. We conducted a meeting to further discuss methods analysis and testing flight. And so, this week we did our air foil simulation on ANSYS, XLFR5 and SOLIDWORKS.
Due to Mid Examinations priority was given to the group member need to prepare
This was implemented under the clause that the work gap would be covered
Hence Only minimal progress was made in this period
SOLIDWORKS model of complete plane was made
ANYS analysis of the wings canard and main wing were conducted for the finalized airfoil
XFLR5 simulations of Stability control were conducted
ANSYS simulation of propeller and thrust calculations were completed
Created drawing packages for the SOLIDWORKS model
Optimized propeller outputs and optimized wings
Documented findings:
Disused relevance of graphs and interpreting behavior of the RC plane
Characteristics of the plane's theoretical capabilities
And how the plane could have been further test in future
(As weren't able to build the plane due to COVID-19)
Finalized the final report in accordance to given feedback
streamlined the fuselage
Created the Presentation for our product
Finalized and Published Website
