Regular Class
Design Objectives● Weight no more than 65 pounds including payload.
● Length, width, and height must not exceed 175 inches.
● Payload must be retained and secured to the frame.
● The closed payload bay must measure 4 x 4 x 10 inches.
● Takeoff with in 200 feet and land within 400 feet.
● Single electric motor may be used.
● Powered by a single Li-Po 4 cell battery
○ Minimum 4000 mAh and 25 C.
● 1,000 Watt power limiter with a shunt plug incorporated into power circuit
Airfoil Analysis
(Cl / Cd vs Alpha)
●XFLR5 and XFOIL used for analysis.
●High Glide ratio (lift to drag ratio) for S1223 (red line)
Airfoil Analysis(Cl vs alpha)
●Higher lift at lower angle of attack
●High aerodynamic performance and efficiency
●Cl = 2.20
●Cd = 0.04
Airfoil Analysis(Cm vs. alpha)
● Negative Cm value of 0.25
● Negative lift from tail section to balance -ve Cm of wing.
PROPULSIONBattery/Motor
● Battery: 14.8 V, 70C, 6300 mAh, 4s LiPo Battery● Motor: Scorpion SII 3026-890 KV Outrunner● Propeller: 14 x 7 inches
Static Thrust● Density Ratio,δ = ρ / ρ0
● Static Thrust Coefficient, CT = 0.074δ-0.57
● Static Thrust = T(STATIC) = CTρn2D4
Dynamic Thrust
● Pitch speed = RPM*propeller pitch = 13172 RPM * 7 inch =
92204 inch/min = 87.31 mph
● TDYNAMIC = TSTATIC( 1 – (Take Off Speed / Pitch Speed))
● TDYNAMIC = 69.23(1 – (37.11/87.31)) = 7.22 lbs.
Wing design
• Set AR = 7, CL = 2.0, T = 15 lbs.
• Varied T/W until weight of ~65 lbs was derivedo Yields minimum W/S
• W/S increased to find a suitable S, b, c
Wing design
• Given:o s = 150
fto CL=2.0o AR = 7
• General Parameters:o T/W = 0.230o W/S = 9.25 psio S = 7.00 ft2
o b = 7.00 fto c = 1.00 ft
Material SelectionAirfoil:
Current Choice - Basswood• Basswood is sturdy enough to perform at the geometry of the
specified airfoil.
Wing Spar:Current Choice - Maple
• Maple was able to keep the wing form and maintain an appropriate dihedral angle.
Framework:Current Choice - Basswood
• Basswood has a good strength to weight ratio, it has the lowest density while maintaining performance.
Finite Element AnalysisLanding Gear made from Aluminum
Ultimate Tensile Strength
4.4 x 108
Maximum Stress(Von Mises)
4.6 x 107
Aircraft Stability and Control
● Neutral point = 16.84 in.
● XAC= 16.45 in.
● Static Margin = (X_CG - XAC)/c_bar
● Dihedral ~ 6 degree
Performance PredictionTake off Distance: No Wind = 150 ft.
Landing Distance: No Wind = 250 ft.
Payload • Payload consists of welded steel plates.• At minimum weight (10 lbs): stability of
35.37%• Maximum of 39 lbs, ~12% stability
Cost BreakdownTotal Cost ~ $1700
● Easy payload loading and unloading through the sides.
● Can carry wide range of payloads with suitable static margins.
