Put into main Notion design matrices
Figures of Merit
- Weight (mid-tier importance b/c allows for more payload)
- Lift/Drag (lower importance b/c speed isn’t much of a concern)
- Stability (mid-tier importance b/c not tryna crash)
- Cost (lower importance b/c not actually building it lol)
- Manufacturability/Modularity (very important b/c must be doable & we’re pretty inexperienced)
- Cargo Accessibility: any configuration could work; just need to coordinate with fuselage to make sure the spars don’t block anything important
- Structural Strength (very important b/c carrying heavy loads with long span)
- Number of subsections: likely gonna 3 if shorter, 5 if longer
