For the conclusion of this semester, the greatest contributions I had for this project was mainly to construct the safety cage that will surround the RC benchmark propeller and motor testing apparatuses. Additionally, I chiefly spearheaded the task of designing… Continue Reading →

In this meeting we primarily focused on the writing of the final report and discussing with our advisor and graduate assistant for our final presentation. we focused on the overall scope of what we had set out to achieve at… Continue Reading →

This week we were informed on the gravity of the situation as it pertains to the availability of the CNC machine and waterjet. earlier, our team member Ryan was able to operate the waterjet machine and get some cutout examples… Continue Reading →

Given that we now had a completed draft of our proposed drone design on paper, i took the task of implementing this idea in the 3D modeling software, Autodesk Inventor. The lattice strictures have since been created with FEA performed… Continue Reading →

In our last meeting we were able to successfully construct the hinges for the access doors for the safety cage that will be used to house the RCbenchmark equipment for propeller and motor testing. now the task of actually operating… Continue Reading →

Last meeting we had discussed how the need for a well-constructed safety cage was both practical and necessary to safeguard our team members from the potential injuries that could occur from being in close proximity of rapidly spinning propeller blades… Continue Reading →

Among the initial resource that were presented to us in the first meeting of this project was the availability of an RC benchmark testing kit for drone propellers and motors. this test equipment would allow us to test different motor… Continue Reading →

For this meeting, the main focus was to complete our BCET funding request. this request ensures that we will at least have some level of funding for the project that we will soon be able to buy additional equipment needed… Continue Reading →

In our first meeting with our meeting with our advisor, he outlined the overall tasks of the project, as well as provided us with some resources to brainstorm some ideas. We started off by discussing the requirements that it by… Continue Reading →
