Engineering
“Engineering is the art of modelling materials we do not wholly understand, into shapes we cannot precisely analyse so as to withstand forces we cannot properly assess, in such a way that the public has no reason to suspect the extent of our ignorance.”
- Dr. AR Dykes
The Three Stages of Our Project
Design
Iterative design loops geared towards reaching an optimum design to ensure competitivness
Manufacturing
Applying practical knowledge and rigorous manufacturing methods in a smart way to ensure a cost effective and built-as-designed aircraft
Testing
The final stage and the ultimate test is flying the plane. It isa challenging and important moment to validate 6 months’ worth of work.
Use of Software
Detailed Structural design to predict aircraft specs and make sure its safe by performing simulations where needed
Validate Our design by smart and well-oriented simulations to gain insight regarding uncertainties in the design
Tools like XFLR5 is integrated with code form MATLAB to speed up the design process to converge on an optimum design quickly.
Powerful project management tools like Gantt charts are integrated with helpful Software like Zenkit to ensure optimum time management.
