Project Development and Results

The outcomes of this project must be plausible designs for the components

Shell of the hull

Inner structure of the hull

Interior design to include sleeping areas, bathrooms, kitchenette area, folding dining/work table, swiveling control and relaxing chair

Anchoring system

Drive up on beach retractable wheels

Control mechanisms

Fixed wing and movable wing structures

Solar and wind electrical charging systems

Retractable hydrofoils that must act as additional wing surfaces when retracted or at least fold up completely into cavities in the body of the craft

Select communication, navigation, autopilot, and water desalination systems.

Design light weight compressed air storage tanks as well as the hose system to allow the compressed air to be used in many areas of the craft.

Design light weight hydraulic fluid system with its hoses to operate some control mechanisms.
