- Chattot code - cannot use directly, must translate to python first
- Or we don’t need to use at all, just use data provided from APC Propellors
- Funding - Get a list of items we need to purchase
- Avionics - still maybe 2 or 4 props
- Structures - need a rough estimate of things need to buy
- Not too in depth, just say different types of materials
- Travel event budget - hotels, food, gas, how many people are going, need to do calculations
- People going: All leads + 4 members (?), depends on how much we can bring
- Decide members later down the line
- Start planning for trip down to Texas
- Next Thursday - leads get estimate of cost of materials, also keep in mind of prototype
- Look into crowd funding
- Look at reusing servos
- Prototype
- Use whatever we have 1/3 or 1/4 scale
- Proof that our design can fly
- Next Thursday meeting - rapid sizing
- will probably need to stay later
- Do iterative loop on sizing → Open vsp model → Get drag and stuff from openvsp → Import model into AVL → Repeat
- Aero look at control surface sizing
- Gabe & John - AVL control surface sizing, motor placement
- More aero AVL stuff
- Scott - openvsp design
- Steve - FAST / Intuitive aircaft design software (Matlab)
