Urban Cargo Transport Uav Final Design Review, Niko Giannakakos, Rafael Barreto Gutierrez, Tejas Bhavsar
Senior Design Project For Engineers
Delivery of goods to homes and offices over the last decades has seen a significant increase as more people and businesses need or want items sent directly to them. With the increase in demand, technology has also experienced a rapid growth, specifically in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Many major companies are currently researching UAVs as the future of their delivery operations. With this ever-growing demand, NASA has issued a design competition of a UAV developed for urban deliveries. This unmanned aircraft system (UAS) would need to be able to deliver small packages, in a timely manner, within …

Senior Design Project For Engineers
The objective of this design study and competition - Next Generation Supersonic Candidate Engine and Aircraft Design, is a response to a proposal and is motivated by NASA’s National Research Announcement in 2006. The requirements of this design study are provided by AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics). The aircraft designed is a private business class. The aircraft engine performs at a maximum speed of Mach 1.8 and supersonic cruise speed of Mach 1.6 at 55,000 feet and a range of 4000 nmi. A generated mission profile through considerations in flight regime will drive the design involved in the …
