Give Wings to Imagination…

ACTIVITIES

Lectures and workshops on balsa glider, boomerang and water rocket

Moments from the semester

Earlier Projects …

• RC planes with different special features or any other type of RC Aeromodels are taken as summer projects.

• Three projects were successfully completed during summer 2009.

• The projects were Bi-fuselage RC plane, Rogallo wing RC plane and Retractable wing RC plane.

SUMMER PROJECTS

This project dealt with fabricating an

unconventional Aero model design.

Model can be seen in fig.

Motivation for this project came from Snitch. Team Members :

Mayank

Puneet Kujur

Shashank Tripathi

Kamlesh Meena

Pukhraj Sharma

Bi fuselage

Rogallo Wing RC-Plane

Team Members :

• Tushar Sikroria• Nikhil Upadhye• Amit Kumar Gond • Mayank Sharma

• The project was inspired from parachutes.

• To provide large lifting force, we decided to replace normal wing by a special kind of wing made of parachute cloth.

• This model can be a basis of planes used in applications involving short runway.

INSPIRATION

• Rogallo-wing is a delta-shaped wing which provides large lift to the fuselage.

• This wing is made of any suitable fabric like parachute cloth, miler sheet or even plastic. In this project parachute cloth has been used.

• The cloth is supported by four rods and the sag given to the cloth gives lift.

DETAILS

Retractable Wing RC-Plane

TEAM MEMBERS :

• Ankita Mittal• Jeetesh Agrawal• Kratika Agrawal• Prateek Sazawal• Ravindra Dhama• Vikas Rana

A simple Remote Controlled Plane.

Special Feature:

• Outer parts of the wing can be Folded.

• The Fuselage has good strength although it’s weight is kept minimum.

INTRODUCTION

Can be used both as a car and an airplane.

Can serve as a cheaper version of a plane car.

INSPIRATION

Retractable Wing RC Plane

We worked on 4 semester projects.

The projects are RC Helicopter

RC Ornithopter

Completely foldable wing RC plane

Quad rotor autonomous aerial vehicle.

SEMESTER PROJECTS

Quad Rotor Autonomous Aerial Vehicle

TEAM MEMBERS :

Jeetesh

Ankur (Robo Club)

This is something which we PLAN to make

(By EPFL, Switzerland)

TEAM MEMBERS :

Atul

Kratika

Tushar

HELICOPTER

• We aimed to make a remote controlled helicopter.

• This was inspired from the real world problem, on which major defense companies are working.

AIM

This project deals with the designing and fabrication of flapping wing Aero-model.

Studied, decided dimension.

Future Plan: Continued under Prof. D. Das

RC ORNITHOPTER

This project deal with converting half foldable wing to completely foldable wing Aero-model

Inspiration: Terraffugia

Work: Mechanism has been decided and it will be tried on old wings.

COMPLETE FOLDABLE WING

SUMMER 2010

• We expect you to come up with some good and innovative ideas for summers.

• One of the projects will be based on the problem statement of Zephyr (IIT Bombay), 2010.

• A lecture series on RC Planes will be held in the beginning of summers.

• The other projects planned for the summers are following ….

1. RC Ornithopter

2. Amphibian Plane

3. Delta Wing RC Plane

Aeromodelling Club ha launched.
