Show moreStudents will finish the design and prototype of a vertical take-off and landing craft (VTOL), which was begun in the Spring-2001 semester. This aircraft, capable of transporting two people point-to-point at speeds up to 120 mph while achieving 25mpg of fuel economy, has been proven very easy to fly in a simulator. Due to its simple design, it is expected that it could eventually be put in the market for less than $40k. Tthis semester, we will finalize and test the scale prototype and begin the design and marketing of the full-scale aircraft.

Show morehe proliferation of the Internet in recent years has led to more people using, and being confused by, computer interfaces. Usability testing is a formal laboratory procedure used to identify problems with user interfaces during the development of a product. It involves creating tasks for users to accomplish and watching whether they can complete the given tasks. More importantly, the testers observe how users interact with the interface in an attempt to understand why they perform the actions they do. The testing allows developers to identify issues with their designs early enough in the product development cycle to be able to change them, saving money and resources later, in addition to creating an easier-to-use product. Unfortunately, many companies do not implement usability testing or do so too late into development to make any substantive changes suggested by the testing. The result is often a product that is needlessly hard to use. The team will conduct usability tests during the semester to gain first-hand experience in all aspects of usability testing. This project will test the interfaces of products produced by other IPROs and will work closely with other teams to identify and address issues arising from their work so that students on this team and others can appreciate the value of usability testing and designing with the end users in mind.

Show moreThis semester will conclude the conversion of a Quicksilver MXII ultralight airplane to operate on E85 fuel (a mixture of 85% ethanol, 15% gasoline). The 2-stroke engine will be tested on a dynamometer for compatibility and performance when using this fuel minimizes with a specially formulated lubricant. After that, it will be mounted back on the aircraft and tested in flight
