Long Term/Break Goals

  • Iterate on CAD (Both gear and linkage system as leaf design for sims should be relatively similar and we can make a decision later)

  • ANSYS sims

    • FEA for material selection which will allow us to start work on the test platform

    • CFD (Jackson and Friends learn CFD and cry over break), for Cd value for controls purposes and more accurate drag force for FEA as well, during test platform development also make sure that air flow restabilizes before reaching fins so no big scary bye bye rocket happens

  • Develop test platform, determine is L1 or L2 is viable, this will also help for component selection of servo when we have a much more accurate mass budget

  • Be cool and awesome do great things be smart and safe
