   The final design product of our 3D printing rotor arm:

FROM COMPUTER SKETCHES TO TO BE READY TO PRINT      The top view sketch of our top plate for the rotor arm (Including measures)    The top view sketch of our bottom plate for the rotor arm (Including measures)   The screenshot from NX (The upper plate of out rotor arm design).    The screenshot from NX (The lower plate (base) of out rotor arm design).  Both upper and lower structure are ready to be print out through our 3D Printer. Note:  Specific screw width and length are required. The rotor arm strength hasn't been tested, according to the design, this structure should have a relatively strong and high strenth, But will still need to handle and test with carefully.       

Zihao Wang - Purdue University - B.S. - Major in UAS - wang5184@purdue.edu - +1 (765)-838-9505 - LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/zihao-wang-80ba0b270/ - I am Zihao Wang, a Junior at Purdue University, majoring in Unmanned Aerial Systems. This E-Portfolio serves as an introduction to the coursework I have undertaken in the UAS AT-X09/19 classes.

       In this lab, We started to tear down the UAV assembled by the previous AT219 class. At the beginning of the task, we planned the mode of this disassembly work, and adjusted the disassembly sequence of the relevant parts, from the top GPS module At the beginning, to the power module and the aircraft body support module was disassembled in an orderly manner to complete the task most efficiently.

 -UAS BVLOS-  In this lab, my team and I conducted basic operations beyond visual line-of-sight flight. This experiment is divided into 3X3X3 steps, that is, the cooperation between each pilot in command and the visual observer. The three crew members will each perform a test flight as a pilot. In each flight, the pilot in command must follow the visual observer's command to complete the observation of the three groups of targets, flying at three different altitudes and directions. Pictures have been taken of three flights of myself, listed in the following: 15 Feet Alt (1st flight)  5 Feet Alt Forward (2nd flight) 5 Feet Alt Backward (3rd flight) This chart shows my three flights as the pilot in command and the elapsed time for three target calibrations. Through the analysis of the time chart, the biggest difficulty in this lab is that the pilot in command cooperates with the visual observer's instructions when the low altitude & direction is opposite or confused.

 Data Display         Table 1 shows the records of local wind data while we conduct UAS flying.         Wind velocity was gradually increased throughout the different altitude layers.          Table 2 is the battery level & efficiency dataset related to three variables, which                leads to the conclusion of higher-altitude aircraft have a better battery                              performance while also encountering a slightly higher wind velocity. This result was          not included the effects by battery cycles.
