Aces Aerospace has developed a half-scale model for a cutting-edge unmanned short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft that is designed to address the logistical challenge of transporting scientific samples from both remote and urban environments. Our team aims to solve this issue by providing an aircraft engineered with long-range, high payload capacity, and a minimal runway requirement. This enables our aircraft to serve several industries such as medical research, environmental monitoring, and emergency response. Aces Aerospace interviewed a research professor with 暗网禁区破解版 Geology, a strategic partnership manager at NASA, and a special agent with the FBI. Based on these interviews, a list of real-world payloads could include water samples, geological samples, forensic evidence, and medical specimens. Our aircraft can provide faster access to critical data by having equipment on board that can begin sample analysis, producing results such as identification of bacterial pathogens in water, composition of rock samples, blood type from a crime scene sample, or viral infection identification on a test sample. An additional benefit of our aircraft is its compact frame, roughly the width of an SUV, allowing the aircraft to maneuver in tight areas and land on single-lane roads within 30ft. Furthermore, the unmanned small-scale design allows the customer to receive the same benefits as a full-scale aircraft at a much lower purchase price with lower operational costs. In summary, the Aces Aerolink provides the perfect solution for scientific sample transportation by providing fast access to critical data while being versatile enough to tackle any terrain.

Delivering emergency medical supplies promptly during high traffic or natural disasters becomes almost impossible. Patients and EMS personnel require lifesaving interventions as soon as possible. Mach Street Boys aims to deliver these crucial supplies to those in need via Urban Air Mobility, known as Aerial Emergency Medical Suppliers (AEMS). Mach Street Boys is committed to easy accessibility and ensures that deliveries reach all destinations swiftly. AEMS will be a full-scale product capable of holding a payload that will ultimately be delivered to the desired location. What makes AEMS unique is its ability to maneuver urban environments more efficiently than other transportation aircraft required to unload at specific locations. The AEMS aircraft can take off and land from a shorter runway, making it ideal to fly in and out of tight spaces to deliver essential supplies.

An often-overlooked part of disaster relief is the need for power and internet service. A wide array of natural disasters can cause power and Wi-Fi outages. Disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, snowstorms, sandstorms, wildfires, and even heat waves and extreme cold can over-stress power grids. Many companies and humanitarian groups focus on the delivery of medical equipment, food, water, and other humanitarian aid. While such aide is critical, it does not help important infrastructure like hospitals, water plants, and waste processing plants maintain power. Additionally, large swaths of the population are often left without the power needed to run their refrigerators, heating and cooling units, medical equipment, and other power-dependent equipment. They may be left without internet connectivity, leaving them unable to receive important updates from officials, call for help, or check on family members and friends. Therefore, an aircraft that can provide power and internet connectivity equipment for urban areas affected by natural disasters, such as generators, gas, oil, batteries, satellite internet router-modems, solar panels, and battery powered/crank radios, has been designed. The aircraft utilizes short take-off and landing capabilities to perform maneuvers and reach areas in critical conditions that other vehicles/aircraft are unable to reach. With this ability, this plane can support urban areas in need.

Meadowlark Views is a STOL UAV that will conduct air tourism routes in picturesque skyline cities. The purpose of this aircraft will be to carry a customer鈥檚 phone for them to experience the city through their camera. To achieve this STOL mission, Meadowlark Views will take off from a short 16-foot elevated runway, fly around the Heskett Center second-floor gym, land on a 50-foot runway, fly again, and then land on the 16-foot elevated runway. To take off from the short 16-foot runway, the team will utilize flaps that provide additional lift and a three-bladed 11x7E propeller to reach take-off speed within the runway length. During flight time, the aircraft will rely on its US-35B airfoil to generate enough lift to fly at a cruise speed of about 35 ft/s. Additionally, Meadowlark Views will use its aileron, rudder, and elevator control surfaces to maneuver around the tight corners of the Heskett gym which will simulate the small enclosed spaces of an urban region. Finally, to land, the team will use the flaps again to act like spoilers to provide more drag for the plane to slow down to a stop within 16 feet. The completion of this mission will result in an enjoyable flight experience for the customers to experience through their phones.

Each year, 24 percent of weather-related vehicle accidents occur on icy, slushy, or snowy conditions, accounting for over 116,800 injuries in the United States [1]. Current ground road maintenance is time consuming and dangerous. By taking advantage of the growing Urban Air Mobility (UAM) market, STARFLEET introduces the DE-ICER 1 aircraft as a key solution to address winter transportation challenges. The De-Icer 1 is an eco-friendly electric aircraft made with composite materials; designed for precise aerial delivery of de-icing agents onto bridges. With its short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities, it may be deployed from the heart of a city- such as a rooftop, reaching critical areas faster than snow trucks. With this solution, drivers will not have to face the dangerous conditions that bridges present in icy/snowy conditions. State governments may benefit from reducing salt overuse which harms the environment, minimizing road closures and improving efficiency of de-icing procedures within cities. The De-Icer 1 offers a simple design so that design changes may easily be made to fit various use cases, enabling off-season functionalities-all while being eco-friendly and cost efficient. This airplane has the power to transform city-wide road safety as we know it, reducing accidents, saving lives and minimizing its carbon footprint.

This project focuses on the design, construction, testing, and successful flight of a custom built aircraft. A primary goal was to integrate the major areas of aerospace engineering principles (Aerodynamics, Flight Dynamics and stability, Structural Analysis, and Propulsion systems) to develop not only a functional aircraft, but one designed to a specific goal to meet mission criteria. The team started with a conceptual design followed with iterations of detailed simulations, analyses, and eventually a detailed, finalized design. After the construction of the aircraft, the team conducted a series of structural and wind tunnel testing to verify or modify certain characteristics impeding stability about the aircraft. The team then took to the skies to showcase their valuable work and dedication to the aerospace field of study. This project provided invaluable experience in applying a growth of knowledge to a practical, real world, engineering setting. It used teamwork, patience, problem solving, and innovation to overcome the challenges of aircraft design and testing.

Short takeoff and landing aircraft (STOL) can fly a wide variety of missions in urban settings. One mission that stood out was the transportation of medical items between hospitals in dense urban areas. It was decided to build a STOL aircraft that is capable of takeoff from a hospital roof with fragile pharmaceutical supplies. These supplies would be air dropped onto the roof of another hospital. The glass eggs being transported mimic the fragile pharmaceutical supplies the aircraft would need to transport in the real applications. 
Currently, hospitals use ground vehicles to transport pharmaceutical supplies between hospitals. While these vehicles can get the job done, they are prone to delays due to road conditions such as traffic and construction making them less ideal for patients in critical condition. Aircraft can completely bypass road conditions and take a straight route to the hospital.

This work-in-progress paper presents the design of a Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) equipped with a modular cargo system, developed by undergraduate engineering students. The UAV aims to support versatile operations in urban, remote, and disaster-stricken areas through an adaptable, easily deployable platform. 

Designed for the Boeing Propeller Bronze Competition, the project integrates key engineering education practices, including Project-Based Learning (PBL), Model-Based Engineering (MBE), and Quality-Cost-Delivery (QCD) analysis. These methodologies guided the team in tackling a real-world aerospace challenge using formal engineering processes.

Initial sizing was achieved through constraint diagrams and weight estimation models, while the MBE Diamond Framework provided a structured approach covering need analysis, behavior modeling, system architecture, and design verification. Various CAD-based configurations were modeled and analyzed using 3DEXPERIENCE, allowing the team to evaluate manufacturability and flight performance under mission constraints.

The resulting design features a bi-wing layout with a cartridge-style modular cargo bay. It meets competition constraints, including a maximum weight of 4 pounds and a takeoff distance under 16 feet. The project also remained within a $600 budget, balancing cost, performance, and ease of manufacturing.

The team was tasked with defining a unique, valuable mission statement for the plane they designed and built. Recognizing Wichita's needs in the medical field and the various hospitals spread across the metro area and even rural Kansas, the team made a small-scale, unmanned, fixed-wing aircraft to transport and pick up organs needed for medical transplants in a secure, fast manner. The plane can take off from a short platform (a hospital helipad, for example), and fly to where the organs are located. When the plane arrives, it picks up and transports organs to another hospital via helipad or any available runway surface that is available, via cushioned, air-tight, climate-controlled, and sterile containers. This is a unique solution in the way that pilots would not be necessary for transporting the organs, and it is electric powered, saving money on fuel and labor, as well as making the aircraft lighter. By avoiding the need to drive on roads or through traffic, this plane significantly reduces the time needed to transport lifesaving organs and improves the chances of successful transplants.

In the realm of Urban Air Mobility (UAM), almost every company is vying to be the best at transporting 1-4 people. While this may be an effective method to help relieve the issues with current urban transportation methods, it raises concerns about creating similar problems in the air. SpaceY presents the Robot Chicken, an electric STOL aircraft designed to take off and land in less than 15 feet, corresponding to a full scale runway of roughly 300 feet, around 6% the length of a traditional runway! Designed for efficiency, manufacturability, and repairability, this aircraft can transport 16 passengers from a rural area into a city and back as a means of daily transport reducing the number of vehicles on the road while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions. The unique lifting body fuselage maintains a lightweight and efficient profile and the modular design makes for easy disassembly for repairs and a compact form factor for ground transport. Alternate interior configurations of this aircraft also support the relocation of people, supplies and equipment during natural disasters where ground transportation is interrupted, unmanned military transport, aerial tourism, and evacuation from war zones where the established humanitarian corridors for civilians are not being properly observed.

In recent years, power grids in highly dense urban populations have been susceptible to long-term outages due to extreme weather. Many highly dense cities do not have the infrastructure to maintain power during these anomalies. The same can be said in war-torn regions where conflicts severely limit the ability to produce sustained power. These power disruptions not only affect households but also cripple critical infrastructure like hospitals, communication networks, and transportation systems. In times of large-scale outages, the military does not currently possess the manpower and machinery necessary to support power outages in highly dense urban populations 

That is where the SS-25 Soaring Sterling fills this need in power restoration and sustainment by delivering necessary equipment and technicians to areas in need and supplying power until the region鈥檚 power grid can return online. The SS-25 is an Urban Air Mobility aircraft capable of short take-offs and landings on asphalts or on rough terrain. The SS-25 has the maneuverability and endurance necessary to fly through a highly dense urban environment to an area in need. SS-25 is meant for short notice operations with its automatic loading of a modular cargo container picking up containers such as generators underneath the belly of the aircraft. The SS-25 carrying a large payload would be a certified aircraft underneath the FAA鈥檚 Code of Federal Regulations as a Part 25 aircraft.
