Prototype UAV with a Focus on Improving Flight Time and Portability
- Worked among a five person team to redesign a quad rotor frame UAV for UAV Solutions.
- Aimed to achieve an increase in portability by having the frame fold to a volume small enough to fit into a police cruiser’s trunk.
- Used lightweight materials such as carbon fiber to increase flight time; with the goal of 60 minutes of mission time.
- Utilized management and organizational tools such as a system boundary diagram, system requirements specification, conceptual design review, production schedule, Gantt chart, and bill of materials throughout the design and build phases.
