Description

This document describes the main aspects of the design process, including some of the approaches that were chosen by the team to achieve the objectives of the ACC, namely to create a radio controlled (RC) aircraft that will lift the most weight, while meeting a set of specifications. Detailed drawings of the ESTG-IPL Cargo plane will be presented, together with the technical and experimental considerations that justify the most relevant design options. This report summarizes the project of "ESTG CARGO 2009", an aircraft designed by a student team of Escola Superior de Tecnologia e Gestão, of the Instituto Politécnico de Leiria (ESTG-IPL), for the Air Cargo Challenge (ACC) 2009.
