OVERVIEW

• Objectives
• Wing Concepts
• Deployment Mechanisms
• Design Analysis
• Cost Analysis
• Current Work
• Future Work

3
Objectives

• Design and fabricate component technology that
  will provide a MAV the capability to
  collapse/fold all wing surfaces along the body of
  the fuselage
• Assess current materials and technologies that
  will maximize subsystem performance and minimize
  size and weight (i.e. composites, plastic
  actuators)
• Demonstrate final concept design at Eglin AFB
• Furnish final report documenting project
  objective, approach, results, budget analysis for
  hardware used, and conclusions/recommendations

Wing Concepts

• Concept 1
• Involves a pair of wings that fold along the
  sides of the fuselage
• Pros
• - Compact design
• Cons
• - Complicated deployment path
• -  Multiple driving mechanisms
• - Two separately moving wings

6
Wing Concepts

• Concept 2
• Involves a one-piece, rotating wing
• Pros
• - Simple deployment
• -  Compact design
• -  One rotating mechanism
• - One-piece wing design
• Cons
• - Concentrated stress on single support
• -  Possible interference with tail of MAV

7
Wing Concepts

• Concept 3
• Involves a bi-wing design that will allow for
  greater lift capabilities and improved glide
  slope
• Pros
• - Greater lift capabilities than concept 2
• -  One-piece wing design
• - Central rotating mechanism
• Cons
• - Possible wing interference
• -  Greater weight

8
Wing Concepts

• Concept 4
• Comprised of a two-wing system that simply
  rotates into deployment
• The wings overlap on the top of the vehicle
  fuselage while stowed
• Pros
• - Simple and quick deployment
• - Compact design
• Cons
• Interference caused by
• overlapping wings
• - Two wing attachment points

9
Wing Concepts

• Concept 5
• Comprised of one central connection between the
  wings and the fuselage
• Both wings will rotate from the same point
• Pros
• Central rotation point
• Compact design
• Simple and quick deployment  
• Cons
• Interference from overlapping wings
• Relatively more complex concentric shafts
