Aerobody Integration Meeting

Mechanical (Aerbody)

Shalin Patel

• Completed

  • Windshield

  • Headlights

  • Doors Cut Out

• Fairings

• Lights need to be finalized - driven by aerobody

• Solar Cells Placement

• Space for brake lights, strobe lights

• Camera sizes/types TBD - dependent on requirements and angles

• Integrate Aeropanels and rolling chassis by EOT

Electrical

Taiping Li

• Antenna mounting - interiors

• Dash/Windshield are removable to access the inside (e.g. lights, antenna)

• Headlights - will be mounted to the aerobody

  • Considerations: removable - will not be waterproof.

  • Build assembly for headlights

• Trunk/Bottom

  • Rear lights - Light bonded with aero with board behind

    • Note: must be approved by WSC requirements (even if made in-house)

    • Design cut out

  • Camera

    • Regulations: must be able to see right behind

    • Placement? Side panel? Directly behind?

• Rear

  • Roof will be removable, back roof can be hinged but also removed

  • Battery box: aim for making modular parts for items within the battery to be removable

    • Should be removed very rarely - otherwise will figure out during then. Should not change design

• Arrays

  • Laminate existing array and measure thickness - measurement to make arrays flush against surface

  • Feasibility of cells - determine module layout

  • Removability of Solar Panels

• Water Resistance

  • Proper flanges to ensure water proofing against rain

  • Top will be guaranteed

• Side

  • Charging port: Considerations for accessibility,

  • Kill Switch: must be flush

  • Blind Spot Cameras: side

  • Side Signals: Obtain lights then design cut out

• Ventilation

  • Driver, passengers/rear passengers

    • have fans built

  • Battery Box outtake routed through rear wheel wells

  • Electrical component cooling: Needs to be considered

  • Array Cooling: cut outs on aerobody

Misc.

• Tow Hook

  • Need to confirm with scrutineers if windshield can be hinged up

• Motors Cooling

• Fairing Size to Access wheel - may be extended

• Consideration: Angle the ducts for battery that will not allow backflow of water from the rear wheels
