12/6 Meeting

This meeting was the last before winter break. The last of the presentations of the groups were done today and the 12th scale cabin team's presentation can be found below detailing the end of the semester's progress. For a quick recap of the progress done so far:

• The team fabricated two cabin designs
• Prototype 1 satisfied the function of housing the controls without excess space
• Prototype 2 touched on a more aerodynamic and futuristic aesthetic
• Conducted an aerodynamic analysis of the cabin
• Begun conceptual designs of Prototype 3

Over break, Prototype 3 aims to be a further refinement in aesthetics while the attempting to fulfill the following new functional goals:

• Sustain a fall from 3 ft fall with all the components contained in it
• Proper air ventilation (heat from internal battery) 
• Develop a compartment system for all the internal components
• Find a proper door alternative that is safe and convenient
