Friday saw the start of the teams wind tunnel testing. The day was spent setting the model up and ensuring the function of the test facilities. The team aims to use this testing time to validate the theoretical aerodynamic performance and ensure the suitability of the current planform for the competition design.
A quarter scale wind tunnel model of the main wing planform has been completed and is ready for testing when space opens up at City's T2 low speed wind tunnel.
Now a number of weeks into the project we are able to update the initial project timeline to represent how we have progressed and introduce any delays experienced into the future plan. It is important to continue to update the timeline and project plan in order with how the team and project are working. The updated plan can be seen below.
