Level 1 Requirements – By: Tuan Vo and Elaine Doan

  1. The VTOL will be designed with a flat conical frustum base and a dome (semi-sphere) attached at the top center of the conical frustum to model after the UFO from the movie, The Day the Earth Stood Still.
    1. Compare the 3D drawing created by team to a picture of the UFO, approved by the customer.
  2. The VTOL will fly once around the ECS 317 room (The room is measured to be 30 ft. wide and 23 ft. long. Assuming an oval flight path, distance to be travelled is 86.75 ft.)
    1. Test: Erect a perimeter with the same square dimension as room ECS 317.  Fly the VTOL aircraft around the inside perimeter one time.
  3. For safety and to avoid contact with people, the VTOL aircraft will fly at minimum elevation of 8ft from the ground.
    1. Test: Use measuring tape to indicate on the wall where 8ft is. Achieve vertical takeoff and hover the machine at 8ft, indicated on the wall.  Control and move the VTOL aircraft around and make sure that the elevation remains at 8ft with deviation of 0.5 ft. or less for the duration of flight.
  4. The VTOL will be controlled wirelessly from the minimum range 40 ft. (the distance from one wall to the opposite wall of the ECS 317 room).
    1. Test: Stand at one end of the ECS 317 classroom and wirelessly control the VTOL across the room to the opposite wall.
