test will be to implementsoftware with the control device to determine that a) the software loads properly and b)that the software can control the device enough to orient it in a desired position.Scheduling and Budget As with any project the time and money available has serious effects on theeffectiveness of the product. To make certain that time is managed wisely a Gantt chartwas created to plan out phases of design, build, and testing. By keeping the chart in mindand making revisions where necessary, it is possible to finish the project by the deadline. Budget is a huge driving factor in the PASSat project because we are a universitystudent project, meaning there is a very small amount of funds available. Therefore,many

The completion of several mathematical processes and team presentations has instilled a generous amount of educational value in the team. Drawing on the full spectrum of engineering ideas acquired over the years has prepared the team for the competition and for future engineering explorations.

. Aircraft is a1915, in a two-seater float plane on Lake Curtiss Reims Racer. Pilot is Charles K.Washington. Boeing caught the flying bug, Hamilton. (http://www.historylink.org)and soon decided to start producing his own airplanes. Together with Navy Lieutenant ConradWestervelt and Herb Munter, Boeing designed and built his first airplane, a float plane namedthe B&W. Shortly thereafter, on July 15, 1916, Boeing incorporated his aircraft manufacturingbusiness as Pacific Aero Products Company, a name he changed to Boeing Airplane Companythe following year. In early 1917, Boeing hired two students, Clairmont L. Egtvedt and Philip G.Johnson, from the University of Washington, to be his engineering staff. Though

experience the fastest relative growthamong all modes of transportation, especially due to many fold increase in demand inmajor developing nations of Asia and Africa. Figure 1 shows the current market outlookfor airplane demand by 2025 and Figure 2 shows various categories of 27,200 airplanesthat would be needed by 2025. The total value of new airplanes is estimated at $2.6trillion. As a result of three fold increase in air travel by 2025, it is estimated that the totalCO2 emission due to commercial aviation may reach between 1.2 billion tonnes to 1.5billion tonnes annually by 2025 from its current level of 670 million tonnes. The amountof nitrogen oxides around airports, generated by aircraft engines, may rise from 2.5million tonnes in 2000 to 6.1
