3. EDGE™ Basic Project Information Project Number and Name –P09123 Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) Platform Project Family –Micro Aerial Vehicle Track –Aerospace Systems and Technology Start Term –2009-1 End Term –2009-3 Faculty Guide –Dr. Jeffery Kozak (Mechanical Engineering) Faculty Consultants –Dr. Agamemnon Crassidis (Mechanical Engineering) –Dr. Hany Ghoneim (Mechanical Engineering) Primary Customer –Dr. Jeffery Kozak, RIT MAV Team Secondary Customer –Impact Technologies

4. EDGE™ Product Description /Project Overview Mission Statement: The MAV Family of Projects: To build a semi-autonomous, tending towards full autonomy, air vehicle that will be used in the future for Multidisciplinary Senior Design and for graduate studies in the college of engineering and the college of imaging science. To have a hands on aeronautical project for undergraduate students that is of low cost and simplicity as to be able to be made by hand. To provide an incentive for students as well as exposure of engineering at RIT by competing in the more aggressive United States/Europe MAV competition The P09123 Project will: Develop the Platform for an expandable and re-useable Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) that is intended to be used as a basis for current and future MAV design.

10. EDGE™ Safety Issues Issues RankPlan 1 One can get fingers cut off when having contact with an active high speed propeller. 9 Whoever is handling the plane must wear the leather gloves. Also, wheels were installed at the bottom to avoid extra handling of the plane during takeoff. 2 If plane fails during flight time and lands towards the audience, one can get hurt. 9 Wearing helmets will not be practical, so we are going to propose wearing safety goggles. 3 Flight debris could fly and have contact with the audience at high speeds. 3 Wearing helmets will not be practical, so we are going to propose wearing safety goggles. 4 If plane exceeds R/C Controller frequency range, plane will crash. 9 To ensure plane will not exceed R/C frequency range, place tape around parameters, so that user knows where is the limit. 5 When flying plane outdoors, there may be many spectators. If the plane fails, there is a possibility it could crash into them. 9 To ensure the plane doesn't crash into the audience, the plane should be flown in a controlled area. 1Important 3Very Important 9 Extremely Important
