Abstract
Learning the design process of creating an aircraft is one of the most valuable things we can learn as aerospace engineering students and through Eaglenautics we have been able to do this. Our team will be utilizing a balsa wood model aircraft in order to gain inspiration and learn more about the actual construction of aircraft. Through this aircraft, we will be able to determine what will be effective in the creation of our own aircraft and be able to apply it. The Eaglenautics team will also be creating initial designs, models, and structures for our own unique aircraft, in preparation for next year’s competition. We are utilizing this year to learn and prepare for next year’s competition by creating a model airplane to practice our construction skills, and to learn new design elements that can be incorporated into our design. We will learn what will be practical on our aircraft and what will help us achieve the goals of the competition in the most effective way. These two practices will give us valuable engineering experience, all the way from the design phase to the actual construction and physical flight testing of our model. By learning these methods this semester, we will be able to prepare ourselves for the SAE AeroDesign Competition in the 2023-2024 year. The goal of the Eaglenautics team is to give us engineering experience through real practice and application of design theory that we have learned during our time here at Embry-Riddle.
