The project objective is to design and build an electric remote-control fixed-wing aircraft that maximizes payload capacity for the 2023 Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Aero Design West Competition in Fort Worth, Texas. The team placed 24th out of 63 teams at the SAE Aero Design West Competition. The SAE Aero Design competition is a yearly regional competition that “provides students with real-world engineering experience through aircraft design challenges”. The team designed a remote-control aircraft with a 12-foot wingspan utilizing a tapered cylindrical fuselage, Clark Y airfoils for the wing, and NACA 0012 airfoils for the horizontal and vertical stabilizers with the goal of minimizing aircraft weight while maximizing potential payload capacity. During development, design decisions were made based on SolidWorks fluid flow simulation to optimize and verify the aircraft design. The aircraft was manufactured utilizing carefully selected materials to increase performance. |
