As we move into preliminary design, we will need a material data base for the python script to reference when sizing and arranging the structures and components of the aircraft. For each sub team (avionics, fuselage, empennage, wing, and landing gear) prepare an excel sheet data base of potential materials you will use (wood, monocote, foam, adhesives, etc.). Include information such as the cost of the material, where it can be purchased, its density, mass per unit length, yield strength. Note that we will be working in imperial units for when we discuss our design and analysis in the report.
