Project Summary 1:
Assignment – Project Pegasus
1. Listing of all documents in addition to the Vans Construction drawings that are part of Pegasus,
for example, any electronic documents on the school server (website, photos, etc).
2. Assessment of construction status by sub kit, for example, is Sub kit 9- “Stabilator”, not started,
in-progress or completed? For work in progress, identify where work should resume, for
example, “Resume work on Page 10-1, Step 2.”During the assessment, become familiar with the
location of completed subassemblies, materials, and hardware.
3. Is any hardware missing/short (for example there is a question whether additional ribs for the
wings are required)?
4. Recommendation on workspace layout (sketch).
5. Any problem areas that require immediate attention?

3. We have the correct amount of cut and trimmed left nose ribs for the wings. We still need to
count the nose ribs for the right wings.
4. Possible room layout:
a. Having a wing rack would allow us to store the wings each day and let both classes to
work in the same space on different pieces of the plane.
b. Moving the tool boxes out of the corner will make it easier to reach all of the drawers,
also with multiple people having access to it at once.
5. The workspace and documentation of the project should be better organized. This way we can
have an efficient plan and layout before we start building the plane. Organizing the workspaces
will allow us to more easily find each tool for each part.
Project Summary 2:
Plane Construction:
● Finished toolbox
● We have completed the following sub kits:
○ Sub kit 14 - rear spar, stub spar, and hinge brackets
○ Sub kit 15 - wing ribs
○ Sub kit 16 - stall warning
○ Sub kit 31A - lighting
● We are currently working on sub kit 17 - wing skins
Project Summary 3:
Plane project summary team 4 (Kelsea, Lydia, Liz)
Finished:
● Riveted the wing skins (Kelsea, Liz, Lydia) 2/20/19
○ We had to match drill a lot of the holes because the rivets would not fit even after
cleco-ing and using the awl. This is something we learned is quite common.
● Deburred the rivets (Lydia, Liz) 4/1/19-present
○ This will help for when we paint the plane. It will prevent uneven coats and make
it look nicer overall.
● Riveted and deburred the doubler (Liz, Lydia) 2/1/19
○ Before attaching the doubler to the wing, we had to smooth the edges and holes
of it to prevent more problems in the future.
● Attached the doubler, hinge ribs, wing walk doubler, hand hold, hinge bracket
assemblies (Kelsea, Liz, Lydia) mid to late March
○ This was happening along with the attachment of the wing skins. The doubler
reinforces the wing, the hinge ribs and bracket assemblies will be used to attach
pieces the other class is completing, the hand hold will allow us to easily move
the wings.
● Rivet, match drill, and debur wing tip trailing edge (Kelsea, Liz) 4/4/19
○ This is the wing tip edge of the wing and is one of the final steps of the wing.
● Bent wing tip close-out (Kelsea, Liz) 3/28/19
○ We had to bend each tab to a particular degree measurement to allow us to
attach the piece to the rest of the wing. It was very precise and required detailed
work.
● Fluted forward wing tip rib (Kelsea) 4/1/19
○ This is what the wing tip close-out was connected to. It required curving because
the piece of the wing it was attached to did not match its shape.
In progress:
● Working on attaching the wing tip bottom skin and the aft wing tip rib (Kelsea, Liz, Lydia)
4/1/19-4/4/19
○ This includes riveting, deburring, cleco-ing, match drilling, and deburring the rivet
heads. We left off with the aft wing tip rib. We had to remove a rivet that was in
the way of attaching the piece and next we will cleco the rib to the wing tip bottom
skin.
● Attaching the access hatch (Kelsea, Liz, Lydia) 4/2/19
○ We have dimpled the holes but haven’t attached it yet
How did your group apply collaboration, critical thinking, communication, and creative
skills in accomplishing different tasks?
Working on the plane was a great way to apply the many skills learned from the STEM
program. When working on the construction of the left wing, we had to use communication and
critical thinking. We had to clearly communicate who was working on what part so that there
weren’t too many people working on the same section or someone not working at all. Critical
thinking was necessary when reading the plans and analyzing the different steps and diagrams.
Sometimes, it was unclear which direction to rivet so we had to think logically in order to figure
out which direction would make the most sense.
These skills were also used when moving into the auto shop. We had to communicate
with Dr. Sims, the mentors, the janitor, STEM Marin, and Robotics in order to figure the ideal
time to move and what space we can occupy. Without effective communication and
collaboration, we wouldn’t have been able to move into the auto shop. This move also required
creativity when figuring out the best way to layout the room and how to organize it in a logical
way.
After the move into the shop auto shop, we had to use more collaboration and
communication with second period. We had finished both wings and organizing the new space,
so we had to discuss what sections needed to be done next and what groups would do what.
STEM presentation night also required all of the above skills. We had to think creatively
and critically in order to find an effective and safe way to transport the plane to the gym. Along
with this, we had to communicate our plans with other groups and collaborate during the move
to ensure that the plane was not damaged and moved on time.
