Project Description Purpose: Design a transporter capable of moving a load of lightweight, fragile, and oversized aircraft components a distance of 20 ft. Constraints • Dimensions within 16”L x 5”H x 8”W • Budget of $15. 00 • Cargo container with a maximum edge height of ¼” • Materials Limited Assumptions • Flat test surface • 6” acceptable radius

Industry Research Transport 1 Aircraft Engine • Most accepted method : Truck and Trailer Figure 1: B-1 Bomber Transport (Nagy, 2014) • Shock absorption • Covered load Container and Process Design • Packaging to reduce labor costs 2 • Removable and reusable containers 3 • Value in flexibility 1(“How to Transport Aircraft Engines”, 2014) 2(Trunk, 3(“DHL 2003) Commences Transatlantic Aircraft Components Shipping Solution for Airbus”, 2015)

Design Research Arduino 4 • Consistent • Easily Programmable • Able to modify speed of motors Figure 2: Arduino Red. Board (Sparkfun, 2015) Motor Evaluations 5 • Servo: • • Able to reverse directions • Slower than a regular motor Motor: 4(1201 • Can not change directions • Faster than the servo • Requires more battery power Faculty, 2015) 5(“What is the Difference Between a DC Motor and Servo Motor? ”, 2015)

Alternate Designs Table 1: Motor Alternatives Decision Matrix Factors Locomotion Alternatives 1. Servo Motor 2. DC Motor 3. Rat Trap Options Control Cost Battery Usage Total 55% 35% 10% - DC Motor 4 4 2 3. 8 Servo Motor 5 4 3 4. 45 Rat Trap 2 5 5 3. 35
