- We are Redline Racing, a student-run Formula - SAE team. - We strive to compete with teams from around the world. Our - club represents Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in - Prescott, Arizona, the number one Aerospace Engineering - University in the United States. + As interest in colonizing the Moon increases, developing a + sustainable method of transporting equipment and resources to + and from the lunar surface will be necessary. LANDER's + approach to this problem is a system that uses one thruster + capable of vectoring thrust to control vehicle attitude and + perform propulsive landings with minimal fuel use. However, + key to the design challenge is creating a suitable test + environment for such a system that can simulate variables, + such as lunar gravity and a lack of atmosphere. Project LANDER + endeavored to provide a potential solution by designing a + complex simulation utilizing live data. Due to an abbreviated + timetable and low-quality components, LANDER did not meet all + of its requirements for the Thrust Vector Control Test and + Operational Demonstration. However, while LANDER was a + proof–of-concept system, the team hopes to lay the foundation + for future development in this area.
- Every year, SAE International hosts multiple Formula and other - vehicle category competitions around the world, allowing - domestic and international teams to showcase their vehicle(s). - The Formula SAE competition is the world's largest collegiate - automotive design competition, with approximately 400 teams - competing every year. + The experimental thrust curve shows that the four load cells + managed to match the thrust curve for the + Estes F15 + within 6.2 Newton Seconds or 13.2%. These results are very + impressive given the quality load cell and vehicle + manufacturing from AXFAB.
- The Formula SAE competition takes place in multiple locations - across the United States and the World. The Competition offers - practical experiences for undergraduate and graduate students - across multiple disciplines in the domains of engineering - design, manufacturing, and business applications. For teams to - be successful, they must justify their automotive design - decisions based on their ability to meet the requirements of - the competition. The engineering challenges presented make - Formula SAE one of the most challenging and complex student - design competitions. + As shown in the figure to the right, the TVC is the yellow + assembly mounted inside of the rectangular vehicle. The red + mounting brackets of the vehicle are screwed into the blue + load cells. The load cells are bolted to the green mounting + plate, which connects the vehicle assembly to the black test + stand.
