So, as the dust settles from DBF 2009, TerraBreak.org needs your help before you run off to graduation/summer-internships/summer-study/etc.
Because of being a little short-handed at competition this year, and because tech inspections weren't as short as we hoped, we were not able to collect any team data this year (i.e. aircraft specifications).
Therefore, we *need*
your help! I know several of the teams used the data on this site in order to help size their designs during conceptual design. And the only way this will be available in the future for 2009 is if you either:
a) send me an email
b) post your data in a reply to this forum entry
c) send me a pm
Data I would like to have:
# of boxes
Wing Span, b (ft)
Wing Area, A (ft^2)
Airfoil
Length OverAll, LOA (in)
Empty Weight, We (lb)
Motor Manufacturer
Motor Model
Props used
Cells used
#/config of battery packs (i.e. 1x20, 2x10 {parallel x series})
anything else you'd consider to provide.
Additionally, we have space on each team's
hangar page for a 250 word summary of your year (this should be emailed, not posted here) if your interested.
Here's an Example.
Thank you, in advance!
