Presented By Zhangzhengrong(Justin) Feng, Victor Li Comparing efficiencies of Flyingautomobiles
Initiative • Why flying cars? • Future solutions for transportation jams • Shorter travelling times for longer distances where the use of aircraft is unnecessary • Affordable/ Environment friendly
Focus • Two flying automobiles currently being developed that will be practical and viable for the future • Moller M400 Skycar by Moller International & The Transition by Terrafugia
Rotapower Engine • Engine Cycle: • Air and fuel intake Compression • InginitionCombustionExhaust • Data Needed: • Power-to-weight ratio • Efficiency Formula • Detailed information of the engine’s use of energy and output
Rotax 912S DCDI • 4 cylinder, 4 stroke liquid/air cooled engine: intake, compression, power, and exhaust • Data needed: • Efficiency, power to weight ratio, fuel consumption, thermodynamic analysis using Otto cycle
