Aerospace Engineers building human-powered aircraft Posted: 30 Sep 2010 08:43 PM PDT Last year, final-year aerospace engineering students Dan Scarfe and Jon Cherry took on the challenge and designed and built wings for the aircraft using their knowledge of previous human aviation. This year, a new group of students will build on this design to complete the plane and test it out to see if it flies. It represents a real challenge for the students as it combined their knowledge of structures and aerodynamics to design and build a pedal-powered lightweight aircraft. Their aim is to build the aircraft using readily available low-cost materials and relatively simple technologies. The students expect to be carrying out the first test flights by Easter 2011. |
