Volume Model Iterations
| Iteration | Date | Dimensions (L x W x H) | Frontal Area (A) | Drag Force* (N) | Changes | Notes |
|---|
| Iteration 0 (First Model) | | 5.00 x 1.60 x 1.10 | 1.28 | 45.64 | | - Rough Model
- Not enough space for front suspension/ wheel sweep
|
| Iteration 1 | | 4.88 x 1.45 x |
|
| - Added space for front wheel sweep
| - Need to add space for front suspension given rough dimensions
|
| 2 |
| 4.95 x 1.69 x 1.065 |
|
| - Reworked geometry to fix pontoon shape
| - Need to continue refining model geometry
|
| 3 |
| 5.00 x 1.68 x 1.065 |
|
| - Made pontoon shape continuous throughout the length
| - Need to simplify rest of the geometry
|
| 4 |
| 5.00 x |
|
| - Integrated preliminary TopFoil shape
| - Need to refine topfoil shape and pontoon shapes and integrate into simpler geometry
|
| 5 | | 5.00 x 1.65 x 1.10 | 1.36 |
| - Re-modeled with simpler geometry, parametric design
| - Ready to replace geometry for TopFoil and Pontoons with optimized airfoils
