Tarun's RC Plane
The Project
The main goal of this project is to build an RC plane that is capable of a controlled flight.
Purpose of the Project
The intent behind this project is to show my ability to take knowledge and apply it outside of an academic setting. This past semester, I took my first aerodynamics class where the topics included Thin Airfoil Theory, Finite Wing Theory and Lifting Line Theory. I directly implemented these theories into calculations and designs for the plane.
Basic Outline
The wings will be designed using aerodynamic theories in the form of Python code. The entire plane will then be modeled in Solidworks and manufactured using a 3D printer. The 3D printer will allow me to create parts of high precision and accuracy complying with the carefully made designs.
