Guest Speaker-Dave Foye

Date: Fall 2014
Time: 90 min. (two different class periods)
Student: Entire class

We thought it was important to get as much background information on motors and power demands so we could better determine motor size, prop size, loads, etc.. Dave Foye (retired Systems Engineer from Trane) has come into speak to my classes in past years. He was kind enough to agree to take some time and focus directly on our UAV project. Thanks Dave!

In the picture below, you see a demonstration Dave designed for the class to help illustrate some of the concepts he discussed.

Below Dave is talking to the class on efficiency of UAV's (Fixed wing vs. Multirotor)

Dave talking to a smaller group of students on power requirements.
