ABOUT PROJECT
OUR PROJECT AIM IS TO PERFORM DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF AN AIRFOIL AND TO DESIGN THE COMPLETE PLANE PROPULSION SYSTEM TO CATER THE NEED FOR FABRICATINGING A REMOTE CONTROLLED PLANE
DURING THE WHOLE PROJECT OUR ULTIMATE AIM WILL BE TO DEVELOP THE COMPLETE AIRPLANE CHASIS.

OUR PRESENTATION WILL INCLUDE OUR SELF MADE AIRFOIL WHICH HAS BEEN THROUGH INTENSE EFFORTS IN COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS AND MODAL ANALYSIS TO JUDGE THE WINGSPAN.

ALSO WE WILL ALSO SHOWCASE OUR FUTUREISTIC APPROACH TOWARDS OUR PROJECT BY
OPTIMISING THE KIND OF DESIGN SUCH THAT WE CAN GET BETTER STABILITY.

AFTER RIGOUROUS MARKET SURVEY WE STARTED OUR DESIGN DESIGN :1

WHY BIPLANE AND WHAT WENT WRONG ???

PROS
INITIALLY AS PER OUR RESEARCH WORK WE DISCOVERED THAT BIPLANES IN COMPARISON TO MONOPLANES ARE MORE STABLE. HAVE HIGHER COEFFICIENT OF LIFT. ARE EASIER TO MANEUVER. HAVE HIGHER COEFFICIENT OF DRAG . HAVE MORE WEIGHT. DIFFICULTIES IN FABRICATION.

CONS

DESIGN :2 ( MONOPLANE)

WE OPTED FOR THE BEST POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE THAT WAS TO SHIFT THE PLANE OF THE WINGS

WE ENCOUNTERED ANOTHER PROBLEM

BACKBONE OF OUR PROJECT : WING DESIGN AND CFD ANALYSIS Conceptual Design

The four-digit wing sections define the profile by 1. NACA Considered formulas: digit 1. Ardescribing = Wing span/Chord First maximum camber as percentage of the length chord. 2.is Second digit describing the distance of maximum Ar aspect ratio camber from the airfoil leading edge in tens of percents of the 2.wing loading= weight in oz / area in ftsq. chord. 3. Last two digits describing maximum thickness of 3.lift=1/2 .rho. v sq.. wing area.coff. of lift the airfoil as percent of the chord. This formula is for the 4. wing planform area= shape of a NACA 00xx foil, with "xx" being replaced by the chord length . wingspan( both for upper and lower percentage of thickness to chord. where: c is the chord wings added) length, x is the position along the chord from 0 to c, y is the half thickness at a given value of x (centerline to surface), and t is the maximum thickness as a fraction of the chord (so 100 t gives the last two digits in the NACA 4-digit denomination).

MANUFACTURING
BUILDING UP OF MODEL. FINALLY STARTING FABRICATION OF WINGS,FUSELAGE AND TAIL. FITTING OF BUSHINGS AND WASHERS FOR MOUNTING PROPELLER MOTOR. SETTING UP EMPTY COMPARTMENT SPACES AND CREATING ADJUSTMENTS FOR BATTERIES AND LINKAGES. BENDING UP OF ALUMINIUM RODS , DRILLING HOLES IN LINKAGES ( CELVIS AND CONTROL HORNS)

MECHANISM AND CONTROL

R&D WORKS

As shown in the figure our R & D work is been carried out regarding the future wing profile .

Our basic aim is to reduce the turbulence that is created by fuselage on account of its wake area created .
Because of which there is a vortex formation . So to avoid the eddie formation we kept ourself confined to a simple and fundamental wing profile .

CONCLUSION
A safe and reliable design approach was adapted. Extensive testing has been done including the gliding capabilities of the models constructed and static analysis of the model we are ready with the final design and the airplane is approaching completion. All is left to do is the flight analysis and test the limits of the airplane so that the plane which we put forth to compete is capable of competing with the other teams.
