With final exams chasing our heels, UAV Forge wraps it up for the year. Here are the last tasks the teams have completed and their goals for next quarter. The Propulsion team has nearly completed a prototype structure of the tilt rotor set up. They have confirmed that the tandem software for the tilt rotor controller is working, but the …
Propulsion team has finished testing the tilting mechanism and coded the geometry into a micro-controller so that the servo rotates the entire rotor. Next, they will use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with the AVL. Mechanical Design has modified the landing skids of the previous prototype iteration and they have completed a third iteration of prototype is complete. The new frame …
We have a new 3D printer to help 3D print our parts! Propulsion team designed and printed the tilt rotor joint that allows the housing to rotate. To fit the joint into the housing, they had to cut rotor’s metal frame. Next they will work on the new flight controller and problem-solve some issues with the low servo angular range …
