Single Line Tethered Glider Sub-System Level Design Review Team P14462 Kyle Ball Matthew Douglas William Charlock Jon Erbelding Paul Grossi Sajid Subhani
Agenda • Project Description Review • Engineering Requirements Review • Functional Decomposition Review • Top 3 Concepts from Last Review • Concept Feasibility • Glider Analysis and Feasibility • Base Station Analysis and Feasibility • Project Planning • Work Breakdown Structure
Project Description Review • Goal: Design, build, and test a tethered, small-scale, human-controlled glider. • Critical Project Objectives: • Maintain maximum tension on the tether • Sustaining horizontal and vertical flight paths • Measure and record tether tension and position • Understand the influential parameters for sustained, tethered, unpowered flight Glider Tether Base Station Operator w/ controller
Review of Top 3 System Concepts IMU with Single Axis Load Cell 3 Single Axis Load Cell 2 Potentiometers with Single Axis Load Cell
Choosing the Glider Bixler v1.1 EPO Foam Phoenix 2000 EPO Foam Wing span: 2 [m] Chord length: 0.3 [m] Mass: 0.98 [kg] Front mounted propeller • Wing span: 1.4 [m] • Chord length: 0.2 [m] • Mass: 0.65 [kg] • Middle mounted propeller
Choosing the Glider The smaller Bixler glider creates less tension for a larger operating range Able to operate with an affordable load cell
Flight Analysis Wind Speed: ~ 11 mph
Flight Analysis Wind Speed: ~ 22 mph
Flight Analysis Wind Speed: ~ 44 mph
Qualitative DOE • Slower wind speed: lower tension • Larger flight path radius: lower tension • Beta angle peaks: ~ 94-95° • Tension peaks: ~ 20 [m] tether length • Tension must be less than 5000 [N] (1100 lbs)
Quantitative DOE • [Describe how will pick our flight configuration for experiment] • Inputs • Maximum allowable tension • Observed wind speed • Outputs • Beta angle • Tether length • Flight path radius
Bridle and Tether Setup Maximum allowable stress for Bixler glider: 30 Mpa Bridle attached at two points on the fuselage causes structural failure at the wing root with 180 MPa
Wing Stress Analysis • Maximum stress: 15 MPa
