As usual, here's a fun video I stitched together to summarize this project.
Took a short hiatus from rockets to brush up my UAV design skills. Managed to knock out this fun WichitaState-Boeing challenge with my solo-entry.
The score rewards number of target hits, quick manufacturing, low weight, and a judged “pretend mission”. The full results and teams list can be found on the website (https://www.wichita.edu/academics/eng...)
This fun project took 1.5 months of work on the side such as scoring analysis, sizing, layout design, iterations following aero + weights + stability analysis, prototyping, and test flights. Thankfully, my lightweight and maneuverable design managed to knock out the most hits of the day.
Special thanks to Dr. Scott Miller & the Wichita State University Dept. of Aerospace Engineering for organizing this fun event.
