Problem Statement | Build a lightweight and aerodynamically efficient Aerobody |
Goals | Aerodynamic efficiency will lead to reduced power requirements, this allows us to travel further with the same amount of power while still maintaining a high regard for DFM and DFA Manufacturability > Performance |
Constraints Regulations | Top surface area of 4m^2 to accommodate array Max dimensions (L x W x H): 5.0m x 2.2m x 1.6m Concept dimensions (L x W x H): 4.85-5.0m x 1.50-1.75m x 1.1-1.4m Must have 100mm ground clearance |
Ideal Goals | Coefficient of drag (Cd) < 0.125 (to be somewhat competitive) or =<0.15 (to finish the race) Frontal area (A) < 1.5 m2 |
Requirements | Minimize molds Minimize cost Highly durable |
