Group 15
has been tasked with selecting a process to mass manufacture the Bullwinkle
fuselage by the tens or hundreds.
The shape and basic mold for the fuselages have already been
developed and are provided by the sponsor. The sponsor requested test data
from fuselages constructed with different materials and using different
methods. With these results, the
group should be able to draw a conclusion on the best material and
manufacturing process for this application.
Also, a recommendation is desired by the sponsor that should include
pertinent information such as time, cost, tolerance, weight and required
manufacturing expertise. Group 15
should work on functionality by redistributing material to increase
strength and minimize weight. The
feasibility of the reduction of length to 16 inches should also be
tested. The goal of this group is to
make it possible for the Air Force to be able to contact the specified
manufacturer and order Bullwinkle fuselages to assemble MAV’s
and deliver them to the troops.
