Model Airplane Project
Class
Engineering Design Analysis with SolidWorks
I constructed a propeller-driven model airplane which had to fit constraints for woodworking and additive manufacturing. Since ants have been known to carry 50 times their own weight, I used finite element methods to demonstrate that the airplane can sustain a load that is 50 times its own weight. I used SolidWorks for GD&T and in designing the airplane. I used additive manufacturing to create the fuselage and used wood to create the wings.
