Course Description
Aerospace Design 2 focuses on designing and building an unmanned, electric powered, radio controlled aircraft. Students are expected to design the aircraft wings, fuselage, propulsion system, tail, landing gear, etc. With the designed CAD model, the majority of the structural components will be 3D printed (with carbon fiber composite as optional). Students also need to learn which electronics are needed and how to install them on the RC airplane. There will be a test flight towards the end of the semester. Each group will design, fabricate, and demonstrate the flight capabilities of an unmanned, electric powered, radio-controlled aircraft that can be best meet design requirements. The goal is a balanced design with good flight performance and affordable and practical manufacturing.
