Bernoulli's Principle

This princple states that as the speed of a fluid increases, pressure decreases. Using this princple, aerofoils are shaped so that the air going over the aerofoil has to travel farther around the wing thus forcing it to move at a higher speed and creating lift.

Engineering Design Process

Throughout this project, our team had to work to make constant revisions based off of the numerous tests that took place. Each test taught us something new about aerodynamics and our design and allowed us to achieve a record time of 2:03.

If we were tasked with this project again...

We would abandon the foam design sooner. We began with a foam design which eventually proved to be unsuccessful. Looking back, we spent too much time on this without seeing any progress. Fortunately, our team won the class contest and then maxed out all of the regional spots at our local TSA competition. This gives us the chance to go to a state and potentially national competition.

  • ABOUT

  • Being my profession of choice, engineering is another one of my passions. Through the engineering strand at ATC, I have explored the engineering design process as well as basics of civil and structural engineering, aerospace engineering, mass production, and 3D part modeling and creation.
