Team 3 Design Concept Presented by Melissa Doan and Jason Hargraves Purdue University School of Aeronautics and Astronautics

The Vision Purdue University School of Aeronautics and Astronautics

Exterior • Canard • Pusher • Retractable tricycle landing gear • Flaperons • Winglets Purdue University School of Aeronautics and Astronautics

Interior Gearbox Elevator Servo Nose Gear Retract Batt. Gyro Rx Retract Rudder Servo Motor Electronic Speed Control Purdue University School of Aeronautics and Astronautics

Structures and Materials • Wing, Canard, Vertical Stabilizers – Foam core – Sheeted: balsa and/or fiberglass – Spruce or carbon fiber spar if needed • Fuselage – Balsa structure – Non-structural foam body – Fiberglass skin where needed Purdue University School of Aeronautics and Astronautics

Design Considerations • CG location – Can switch to tractor configuration if needed • Wing vs. Canard stall • Style – Winglets vs. twin tails – Tractor vs. pusher – Retractable vs. fixed landing gear – Curves and fillets – Paint and accessories (LEDs? ) Purdue University School of Aeronautics and Astronautics

Possible Modifications • V-tail to replace winglets • Tractor (Conventional) Purdue University School of Aeronautics and Astronautics
