Design of an MAV for the 2019 SAE Aero Design Competition

The goal of this project was to design a Fixed-Wing Micro Aerial Vehicle in compliance with the rules of the Society of Automotive Engineers 2019 Aero Design Competition. These rules included carrying a payload of 2 inch inner diameter PVC pipe, fitting the unassembled aircraft within a box of dimensions 12.125” x 3.625”x 13.875”, and assembling the aircraft in under 3 minutes. The project team conducted analysis and testing in the areas of aircraft structures, stability and controls, aerodynamics, and propulsion. The final aircraft was constructed with laser-cut plywood and balsa, monokote, carbon fiber, and 3D printed components, weighed 2 pounds unloaded and 3.85 pounds loaded, while still meeting all competition requirements

Addressing the Quality of Living and Nightlife in Nørre Kvarter

Copenhagen’s vibrant nightlife has become a problem for residents living in the district of Indre By. The purpose of our project was to research, observe, and analyze the behavior of young adults when partaking in nighttime activities located specifically in the community of Nørre Kvarter.

Our final plan helped our sponsor raise awareness about the problem to increase Indre By’s environmental sustainabilit
