CFP Criteria Review
  • Secure wings to fuselage
  • Quick set up and tear down
  • Distributes stress efficiently

4
Motivation for CFP
  • Problem for both Sub-groups
  • Most Complex Structural Part
  • Created Urgency in Individual Tasks
  • Fuselage Frame
  • Carbon Fiber Testing
  • Foam Molding

5
Candidate Solutions
  • Plug in Wing
  • Top Mounting 3 Piece
  • Top Mounting 2 Piece
  • Flange Connection

All Pictures were created by the WWUAV Team
6
Wing to Fuselage Interface Critical Function
Prototype
  • Desired Improvement Goals
  • Less Weight
  • Strong
  • Decrease Drag
  • Maintain Easy Assembly and Disassembly

Final Candidate Solutions
Internal Solution
External Solution (similar to last years fuselage
wing interface)
All Pictures were created by the WWUAV Team

Critical Function PrototypeDesign Choice
  • Dihedral
  • Wing Spar
  • V pin
  • Connecting Spars
  • Tongue Groove
  • Bolts Connecting the Wings to the Fuselage
  • Manufacturing

All Pictures were created by the WWUAV Team
9
Enlightenment
  • Design
  • More bolts (8 instead of 4)
  • Dihedral
  • V Spar
  • Manufacturing
  • Machining Wood Problems
  • Machining as Two pieces will be easier and more
    accurate
  • Datum Planes
  • Spar Holes

10
Wing Update
  • Completed Molds
  • Problems with Molding
  • Release Agent
  • Spare Positioning
  • Carbon Fiber
  • Separation from Foam

All Pictures were created by the WWUAV Team
11
Fuselage Update
  • Frame
  • 1 aluminum square tubing
  • Ensure durability
  • Ease of manufacturing
  • Skin
  • Other priorities
  • Put off until final dimensions of frame were
    known

12
Landing Gear Update
  • Decided on Design
  • Flat surface strut for the rear
  • Spring supported single wheel for the front
  • Preparing to manufacture

Schedule
14
Looking Forward
  • Fuselage Cover
  • Motor Mounting/ Fuel supply
  • Tail Section
  • Control Systems
  • Camera Systems

15
Summary
  • Critical Function Prototype
  • Challenge to manufacture but worth the effort
  • Strong
  • Light weight
  • Easy Assembly and Disassembly
  • Wings are progressing as planned
  • Fuselage is nearing completion
  • Gearing up for Landing Gear production
