Competition Objectives• Overall length, height and span of the aircraft cannot
exceed 175 inches• The maximum weight cannot exceed 55 pounds• The use of fiber-reinforced plastic is prohibited• Payload bay dimensions of 10” x 4” x 4”• Unload and reload payload in one minute• 1000 watt power limiter • Take off in 200 feet, fly a 360 degree circuit, and land
in 400 feet

Competition Summary (cont.)
• Technical inspection– Failed 1st inspection due to non-compliant payload bay– Received penalty point deduction for failure to report
dimension changes– Constructed new payload bay– Passed 2nd inspection and cleared to fly

• Overall finish of 13th out of 37 entrants• Finished 7th on the tech report• Finished 10th on the oral presentation• Aircraft carried 18.5 lbf
(improved upon 2014 max payload weight of 9.11 lbf) • Tech report and oral presentation results improved
Discussion

Discussion (cont.)
• Lessons Learned from Competition– Double check dimensions: match aircraft to technical
report– Weight must be homogenous mass: no loose plates– Solid wheels– Reliable front nose gear design– Implement trade studies in oral presentation– Access panels for all servos

Recent Work• Constructed revised front landing gear• Compiled lessons learned• Gathered media from competition• Sent Thank-You letter to sponsors• Begin editing final report and
presentation
2015 SAE Aero East Design Team2015 SAE Aero East Design Team18
Future Work• Organize all documents and media for future teams• Implement new nose gear and replace damaged
rudder servo• Continue test flights– Attain ultimate goal of more than 20 lbf payload
• Recruiting efforts for 2016 team• GROUP BARBEQUE!
