Logan Files- OSU(Aerospace Engineering)- week 4
On the Monday of my last week, I started to build the inflatable-winged airplane. I cut the fuselage nose and tail as well as the v-tail pieces on the laser cutter and then built the body up. I decided to reinforce the fuselage by adding fiberglass rods on the corners. This technique worked extremely well […]

On Monday we implemented the motor into the middle piece of the plane. We felt this method of squishing the foam between two plates would be a sturdy way of binding the motor to foam. I designed and laser cut a piece of wood to match the carbon fiber mount that already came with the […]
Logan Files- OSU(Aerospace Engineering)- week 3
Monday was a celebration for the other high schoolers’ departure. We went to the airfield to shoot off the rockets we had made previously and to have a cookout. It was fun talking with the other kids and seeing everyone there. When we started launching rockets the wind was worse than it had been the […]
Logan Files- OSU(Aerospace Engineering)- week 2
On Monday I continued to work with SolidWorks in order to print an engineering drawing of the completed box. The drawing helps to simplify the dimensions and viewability as well as giving a paper copy to see. We also had a meeting for designing a system that will take a telescope up on a kite […]
