Catamaran VS Bullet Comparison

New Task:

Study on Yaw angles and reducing crosswinds in a vehicle

This helps with cornering when driving the vehicle.

•  Assign this task to a member!

Overseer:

Michael Hanley

To be assigned to:

Evan Dodd

Yaw Angle Study

What angle of bend can be designed for the solar array to be effective/not break?

•  Fill out information for the page in terms of resources, types of cells.
•  Prioritize silicon based cells.

Aidan Lehal

Owen Clayton

Solar Array - Bending Conditions

Theory and understanding:

finding resources and General software tools (CFD, FEA, etc.)

Broadening this research task:

•  Airfoil Design
•  Summarizing the material or extracting topics to look into/start learning (i.e. make a list and set up a page full of topics)
•
