Research Project And Tech Report Contributions

Group  Assigned tasks for then  Came up with one out of the four finalized proposed solutions for the project. Report  Researched with my teammates about proposed solution Tasked with getting primary information via emailing the company directly for questions Did secondary research on the topic through Google and Google Scholar in collaboration with my teammates.  Wrote 2nd draft of executive summary Assisted teammates with the editing of the final tech report Created a survey via social media to get feedback/results for our research Wrote the entire introduction portion of the report Edited the introduction Presentation Did the presentation slides for my part  Came up with the presentation flow/ arrangement

Summary Read and Response Draft #3

V-22 Osprey VTOL A V22-Osprey is an aircraft that is a mix between an airplane and a helicopter. Therefore it is considered a VTOL(Vertical Take-off and Landing)as it uses a tiltrotor propulsion engine system that combines helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft capabilities. Based on McCormick's work on VTOL technologies (McCormick, 1967, Pg 347-366 ) , the propulsion system functions follow the tiltwing concept as it uses two large tiltrotors mounted on the wings which consist of multiple engines to takeoff ( McCormick, 1967, Pg 347-366 ) .  As mentioned by the related article ( Zhou, Zhao & Liu, 2019) , the tiltrotor has rotational capabilities that allow the VTOL to perform vertical takeoff/land like a helicopter. It can also perform a conventional forward flight like an airplane. However, an unfavorable comparison to the harrier, also a VTOL but of a different concept, that uses a turbofan engine is that the aircraft is affected by dead weight from the Osprey Tilting apparatus
