Finally, after all the hard work throughout the year, we successfully flew the Circular UAV during finals week! Special thanks to Professor Haithem Taha for advising our project, Colin Sledge for guiding us step by step through the whole process and piloting our UAV, and Terry Wang for providing advice, directions, and making our poster, presentations, and documentations look professional. …
For the past few weeks, our team 1) Finished the carbon frame structure for the wing body. 2) Put together the foam wing bodies that we fabricated. 3) Cut out channels on the prototype wing body for the frame. 4) Assembled the final body of the prototype with the airframe. 5) Finished the CAD model and poster for winter design …
For the past two weeks, our circular UAV team has 1) Finished the CNC milling of the wing bodies after failing numerous times. 2) Designed the frame and CAD for the carbon tube connectors. 3) 3D printed the prototype motor mount and frame connectors. 4) Received the carbon tubes for the frame structure. 5) Presented for peer review. For the …

For the next week, …
For week 4, our team was supposed to start the manufacturing. We got all the materials for fabrication, but the CNC router did not function properly and delayed our progress. For week 5, to catch up with the timetable, our team 1) improved our fabrication models to be more efficient 2) had training and started the foam cutting process with …
For the past week, our Circular UAV team, 1) Modified and finalized the manufacturing method. 2) Made contact with Fabworks for training on fabrication machinery. 3) Submitted purchase orders for fabrication materials. 4) Calculated the data we needed and sized the models for the wind tunnel testing. For the following week, we are going to get trained with Fabworks. Moreover, …
For the past week, our circular UAV team : 1) Got the permission to access the Wind tunnel. 2) Set up a lab space for manufacturing. 3) CAD the model for molding the wings. 4) Contacted Fabworks for manufacturing. 5) Confirmed the manufacturing process. For the next week, we are going to submit purchase orders for parts, prepare models for …
For the past week, our Circular UAV team 1. Decided on a manufacturing method (CNC router) 2. Fully dimensioned details of the UAV 3. Decided to run wind tunnel tests on scale model, measuring different metrics such as coefficients of lift and induced drag. For next week, We will be finishing up the detailed CAD model for manufacturing. We will …
For the past week, our Circular UAV team 1) Reviewed our progress with peers and faculties. 2) Continued on the CAD model. 3) Worked on the poster for Fall Design Review. 4) Learned how to perform a flow simulation. 5) Planned out manufacturing techniques We will have the poster for Fall Design Review done by the following week. We will …
For the past week, our Circular UAV team 1)Started the CAD model 2)Prepared for the peer review presentation. 3)Fixed the power requirement and the motor size. We focused on calculation and studying for midterms this week. Next week, we are going to start the poster for Fall Design Review and have the peer review presentation.
