Assignment 1 -Progress Report 1

Submission Date & Presentation: 20 Sept 2016 (2pm)?

1 report per group

Group Project
Task 1- Progress report 1 (Deadline: Week 3)
Aim: Develop a Matlab programming code to investigate:
The effect of wing aspect ratio on aerodynamic characteristics
(Lift and Drag)
Validate your code with existing results from any established
journals/technical reports
Show comparison for your case and any existing aircraft model
obtained from the journal
The main content should not exceed 3 pages and discussion should
focus on the results
Include Matlab code in the Appendix including the outcome
Plot proper graph with axis title and results (Technical report format,
should include content, references)

Group Project
Task 2- Progress report 2 (Deadline: Week 6):
Aim: Develop a Matlab programming code to investigate:
The effect of wing taper ratio on aerodynamic characteristics
(Lift and Drag)
The effect of wing swept angle on aerodynamic characteristics
(Lift and Drag)
Validate your code with existing results from any established
journals/technical reports
Show comparison for your case and any existing aircraft model
obtained from the journal
The main content should not exceed 3 pages
Include Matlab code in the Appendix including the outcome
Plot proper graph with axis title and results (Technical report format,
should include content, references)

Group Project
Final report (Deadline: Week 12)
Aim: Develop a Matlab programming code to investigate the effect of
wing-body combination on aerodynamic characteristics (Lift and Drag)
particularly:
The effect of fuselage diameter on aerodynamic characteristics
(Lift and Drag) for straight wing at low aspect ratio
The effect of fuselage diameter on aerodynamic characteristics
(Lift and Drag) for straight wing at high aspect ratio
Validate your code with existing results from established
journals/technical reports
Show comparison for your case and existing aircraft model
obtained from the journal
The main content of the final report should not exceed 5 pages,
paper journal format.

TASK 1
1. Work in your group
2. Discuss and decide: what is your task in your group?
3. Discuss and identify: what exactly you have to do
for the project?
4. Discuss and plan: what are the strategies to make sure
that the project is successful? Milestones?
5. Discuss and identify: what are the things that you
dont know? and what are the challenges that you
will face? How do you plan to overcome the
challenges?
