c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Aerospace Capstone Design: Interactive Initial Sizing Estimates for Increasing Designer Intuition and Mitigating Risk in the Early Stages of Aircraft Conceptual DesignAbstractIn academia, aircraft design is a unique capstone course(s), measured in one or two semesters. Insome cases, aircraft design courses introduce the student to both the design process as well as thecomplexities associated with designing an object that travels through the air.In industry, aircraft design is a unique and complex process, measured in years. Success orfailure of an aircraft development program is often the result of decisions made in the initialstages of the design

actuators.This engineering analysis of the simulator will function to increase exposure to principles ofaircraft design to both technical and non-technical students alike. The simulator is tailor-made toaccompany our university's Aircraft Design course. By pairing the our simulator with the courseengineering students will be able to learn about aircraft design, create their custom airplane usingX-Plane 11’s plane maker software, and then experience flying it on our simulator. Thisimmediate, immersive feedback enriches the students' knowledge of aircraft design and increasesinterest in the topic. Additionally, the portable design of the simulator enables the system toserve as an exciting advertisement to pre-college students considering the world of

maximum resolution (2825 x 2124), which is sufficient for theexpected velocities near 0.2 m/s. The maximum recording speed of this camera is 1200 fps at336 x 96 resolution. This speed would allow for much greater flow speeds, but the clarity of theimages are sacrificed at higher frame rates. The higher frame rate images also containexceptionally more noise. Unfortunately, the Casio EX-F1 is no longer available for newpurchase in the United States, but plenty of similar cameras exist. For example, Ryerson andSchwenk [7] used the Casio EX-FH25, which has since been replaced by the EX-FH100. Thesecameras are cheaper than the EX-F1 and would work just as well in the present system. Since thehigh speed function is not high enough resolution for PIV

positive impact on the female participants.Future WorkThe learning materials will be revised for the following summer camps based on the feedback ofthe teachers and the assessment results. Additional data will be then collected during the upcomingsummer camp. It is expected that the larger sample size will increase the statistical power of theanalysis. The project team will be installing the software and hardware in the local middle schoolsso that the teachers can start using the learning modules in their classrooms.References1. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/02/15/u-s-students-internationally-math-science2. https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/pisa/pisa2015/pisa2015highlights_3f.asp3. https://www.nea.org/assets/docs/18021

back of the chapter homework problems. Students use the equations they learned in classto a hypothetical problem to get an answer by inserting numbers into the equation. One such question fromFundamentals of Aerodynamics book by John Anderson [5] (which is adopted by most instructors as arequired textbook for aerodynamics course) is given below:Consider a NACA 2412 airfoil. The airfoil is flying at a velocity of 60 m/s at a standard altitude of 3 km.The chord length of the airfoil is 2m. Calculate the lift per unit span when the angle of attack is 4°.In this problem, students have to employ the equation of lift per unit span 𝐿′ 1 𝐿′ = 𝜌𝑉 2
