AEROSPACE 305W RC Helicopter Experiment Simple vs. Detailed LabView Acquired Data
Assignment Prompt:
“Please send me one technical memo from your group that documents the experiments conducted during lab to determine the small RC helicopter performance. In addition, compare your results in your memo to the “simple” experiment conducted in February 2021.”
As a group, you have been asked to measure the lift force and rotational rotor speed of a small RC helicopter, while varying the input power. During lab, you will collect, and process detailed voltage data acquired by LabView, and use it to calculate lift force, rpm, torque, and power. You will then compare your processed data to the data collected in February 2021 that is provided on CANVAS in the PPT file named “Simple Helicopter Experiment”. Experiment design considerations:
The following questions should help guide you with writing the “introduction” and “discussion” of this experiment.
How useful was the "simple" data compared to the LabView acquired data?
Was it possible to measure all quantities simultaneously using the "simple" tools?
What is the input power and control used during each experiment?
What is the observed repeatability between ALL
experimental data?
Are there any physical effects that have been unaccounted for in these experiments? Documentation: Your group memo should include at least the following information.
Memo header and memo section headings described in the “writing” lectures.
Complete wiring diagram of the experimental apparatus.
A photograph of your experimental apparatus.
A short description of the procedures and working principle of your apparatus.
Graphs demonstrating the relationship between Lift, RPM, Torque, and Input Power
Discuss the differences between the "simple" and LabView acquired data.
Be careful to use the same units when reporting the various sets of data.
Comparisons should be made by overlaying multiple sets of data on each graph.
As for the parachute memo, report uncertainty and % error information in your “Conclusions” and show your work for these calculations in your “Appendix”.

A Water Balloon Battle. You are launching water balloons at a rival team using a large slingshot. The other team is set up on the
opposite side of a flat-topped building that is 30.0 ft tall and 50.0 ft wide. Your reconnaissance team has reported that the opposition is
set up 10.0 m from the wall of the building. Your balloon launcher is calibrated for launch speeds that can reach as high as 100 mph at
angles between 0 and 85.0° from the horizontal. Since a direct shot is not possible (the opposing team is on the opposite side of the
building), you plan to splash the other team by making a balloon explode on the ground near them.

Case Study – The New Engineer
Jeff was just hired by GSI, Inc. to be their Environmental and Safety Coordinator. This is Jeff's first position after completing his engineering degree. He had taken a course in safety engineering as part of his studies and felt confident that he could handle the job.
Management at GSI, Inc. has assured him that they are committed to maintaining a safe workplace. They have never had an individual dedicated to this task full-time. They will implement his recommendations if he can justify them.
As Jeff begins to get familiar with the operations, he spends considerable time on the production floor. He notices workers clean their tools before break with a liquid from an unmarked 55-gallon drum. They also use this liquid to clean residue from their skin. They use paper towels to dry their tools and hands, throw these towels in the trash, and head to the break room for a snack and/or smoke.

These sketches are done on attached engineering or typing paper, unless
you are able to draw them in EES. You must validate your results with hand
calculations on engineering paper that invoke the 1 and 2 Law from the
perspective of the entire cycle, not the individual components. Of course,

Problem:
Insufferable Enlightenment era scientists are a lot like insufferable frat boys/sorority girls - they just cannot
get enough of themselves.
One of the most well-known "big brain" contests in their history was a Europe-wide challenge presented by a
certain Swiss scientist called Johann Bernoulli (who already had his own solution so that he could pompously
show off once the submissions came in). He asked the "leading minds of the world" the following:
What is the curve along which a particle, under constant gravitational acceleration g, would descend from
one arbitrary point to another within the fastest duration of time?
Fancily called the brachistochrone problem (derived from the Greek word for just "shortest time"), Bernoulli's
initial solution used the law of refraction as the result of applying the principle of least time to a light particle.
Let's give this solution a shot ourselves.

The following formulas are commonly used by engineers to predict the lift and drag of an airfoil:
where L and Dare the lift and drag forces, V is the airspeed, S is the wing span, is the air density, and CL and CD are the lift and drag coefficients. Both CL and CD depend on α , the angle of attack, the angle between the relative air velocity and the airfoil’s chord line.
Wind tunnel experiments for a particular airfoil have resulted in the following formulas.
where α is in degrees.
