Abstract
• Design: A bush plane capable of deploying and towing a banner in flight, carrying passengers, and taking off within 20 ft. Create simple systems capable of restraining the passengers and stowing, deploying, and releasing the banner.
• Build: The plane, passenger subsystem, and banner subsystem using durable and lightweight materials. Select a propulsion system with the necessary power and endurance to complete the missions.
• Fly: Three missions with the fastest lap times to achieve the highest score.
• Mission 1: Fly 3 laps within 5 minutes; take off in less than 20 ft.
• Mission 2: Fly 3 laps within 5 minutes with a passenger payload
• Mission 3: Fly as many laps as possible in 10 minutes; take off in less than 20 ft.; deploy and tow a banner in flight.
The mission scores are summed and multiplied by a design report score. The highest total score wins the competition!
