EXPLICIT REQUIREMENTS
Aerodynamics Altitude less than 2000 feet Stability and Controls Level 1 handling qualities in all flight regimes Structures Fits into 120 mm inner diameter tube, 4 feet long Wings deployed by pilot Rail buttons must be included Folding propeller Avionics box (5.625x3.25x1.625 in, .54 lb) Pitot-Static Tube included (calibrated) Performance Electric powered (3900 Ahr 3s LiPo battery) Himax Brushless Outrnner Motor power plant with Phoenix 60 ESC controller Long Flight duration Propulsion Launched by hand and by rocket motor at low to medium elevation angles (20-45 degrees above horizontal) Rocket Motor is AeroTech RMS-24/40 and retained onboard during flight NCSU Standard Launcher 4 used Safety Safe in populated areas Other Easy to construct and operate White with red/black trim paint job

IMPLICIT REQUIREMENTS
Aerodynamics Low drag High lift, wings create positive lift Must account for Pitot tube in placement and airflow (good results) Stability and Controls Stable (also when launched before wing deployment and during deployment) all configurations Capable of required maneuvers (maneuvers: TBD) Non-wing control surfaces can be self deployed Structures Collapsible/foldable/deployable wings Maximize wingspan/AR Must carry or support the carry of video equipment separate controls for camera (make space and adjust for weight placement) Orient itself inside launch tube tightly (plays into stability) Must survive heat released by rocket engine Aware of chemical interactions of materials used Withstand adverse flow and/or vibrations Wings dont interfere with fuselage Structurally support launch, flight and landing loads; fatigue withstanding/flight life time Must be able to fit in or strapped to backpack (simple assembly), easy to transport Performance Long endurance/range Simple maintenance (reconfigure/replace/clean) Antennas signal is attainable Sustainable landing strategy Propulsion Must launch with supplied rocket engine Must fly with the supplied electric engine (weight restriction) Safety Flying in adverse conditions Other Simple design, but effective Reduced cost, weight Innovative design (something new)
