The UA Campus Repository is experiencing systematic automated, high-volume traffic (bots). Temporary mitigation measures to address bot traffic have been put in place; however, this has resulted in restrictions on searching WITHIN collections or using sidebar filters WITHIN collections. You can still Browse by Title/Author/Year WITHIN collections. Also, you can still search at the top level of the repository (use the search box at the top of every page) and apply filters from that search level. Export of search results has also been restricted at this time. Please contact us at any time for assistance - email repository@u.library.arizona.edu.

dc.description.abstractThis project analyzes the challenges that distributed manufacturing pose to solving modern engineering challenges. The goal of the project is to build a Production plane that can complete an obstacle course carrying a 32 oz. Gatorade bottle payload. The Production plane must be broken down into multiple sub-assembles that are then carried by a Support plane through the same course. This project is for the AIAA Design Build Fly Competition, so the conceptual design phase is dominated by score optimization. The Production plane will break down into two subcomponents that can then fit in the back of the Support Plane fuselage. The production plane will be constructed using carbon fiber for improved durability. The Support plane will be constructed of wood to reduce cost. Due to lack of funding, the planes could not complete in the competition. However, extensive ground testing and analysis indicates that both planes satisfy all major competition performance requirements.
